Answer:

B) The current of the entire circuit is lowered.

Explanation:

There are two ways in which a resistor can be connected in a circuit;

i) Series: In a series connection, resistors are connected end to end. In this arrangement, the current passing through each resistor is the same while the potential difference across each resistor is different.

ii) Parallel: In a parallel connection, resistors are connected to common junctions. In this arrangement, the potential difference across each resistor is the same while the current across each resistor varies.

In a series circuit, the effective resistance is the algebraic sum of resistance of all the resistors connected in series. Hence, if a large resistor is connected in series, the effective resistance of the circuit is greatly increased.

Since the voltage is given by;

V=IR (Ohm's law)

Where R is the effective resistance

Then;

I = V/R

If R becomes very large due to a large resistance connected in series, then the current of the entire circuit is lowered.

A jogger runs by a river with a velocity of 7 m s relative to the ground. A leaf floating on the river moves with a velocity of

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of jogger wrt to the ground, $V_j=7\ m/s$

velocity of leaf wrt the ground, $v_i=2\ m/s$

We need to find the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger. Let it is equal to V. So, it is given by :

$V=v_j-v_i\\\\V=7-2\\\\V=5\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the leaf relative to the jogger is 5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An amateur golfer swings a golf club, striking a golf ball that has a mass of 55.0 g. The club is in contact with the ball for o

Rudiy27

Answer:

The average force ≅ 519.44 N.

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum of a body

i.e Ft = m(v - u)

where F is the force, t is the time, m is the mass of the body, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

m = 55.0 g (0.055 Kg), t = 0.00360 s, v = 34.0 m/s, since the ball was initially at rest; u = 0 m/s

So that,

F x 0.00360 = 0.055(34 - 0)

F x 0.00360 = 0.055 x 34

= 1.87

F = $\frac{1.87}{0.0036}$

= 519.4444

The average force exerted on the ball by the club is approximately 519.44 N.

Issac and Blaise decide to race. They both start at the same position at the same time. Issac runs at 2m/s but decides to take a

FromTheMoon [43]

Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race

so the total distance he moved is given by

$d_1 = 1* t$

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"

because it took rest for 2 minutes

$d_2 = 2*(t - 120)$

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance

$d_1 - d_2 = 10$

$1* t - 2*(t - 120) = 10$

$t - 2t + 240 = 10$

$t = 230 s$

now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

$d_1 = 1*230 = 230 m$

A 300 kg car initially travels with a velocity of 20 m/s to the right. A net force F acts on the car for 5 s, which causes the v

hram777 [196]

Answer:

600N.

Explanation:

From the question, we are to calculate the net force acting on the car.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

m is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration = change in velocity/Time

a = v-u/t

F = m(v-u)/t

v is the final velocity = 30m/s

u is the initial velocity = 20m/s

t is the time = 5secs

m = 300kg

Get the net force:

Recall that: F = m(v-u)/t

F = 300(30-20)/5

F = 60(30-20)

F = 60(10)

F = 600N

Hence the net force acting on the car is 600N.
