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 heavy anvil is suspended by a 0.75 m long steel wire that has a mass of 12 g. When the wire is plucked, it hums at its fundame

Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{2l}$
