What happens to a circuit's resistance (R), voltage (V), and current (1) when

hammer [34]

Answer:

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

$R = \frac{(Resistivity)(L)}{A}$

It is clear from this formula that resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire. So, when length of wire is increased, the resistance of circuit increases.

The voltage in the circuit will be constant as the voltage source remains same and it is not changed.

Now, we can use Ohm Law:

V = IR

at constant V:

I ∝ 1/R

it means that current is inversely proportional to resistance. Hence, the increase of resistance causes the current in circuit to decrease.

Therefore, the correct option will be:

D.

R increases

V is constant

I decreases

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

$m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute $m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3$

$m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}$

Divide both side by $m_1$ , then multiply by 6 we have

$6v = 2v + 3v_2$

$3v_2 = 4v$

$v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}$

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

A person with mass mp = 76 kg stands on a spinning platform disk with a radius of R = 1.98 m and mass md = 191 kg. The disk is i

nalin [4]

1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.
