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 bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free

REY [17]

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, a conductive ring generates an induced current due to the change in the magnetic flux caused by the motion of the bar magnet. This induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic field of the bar, generating an upward force that opposes the weight of the bar magnet, Therefore, it does not move as a freely falling object.

The wavelength of a water wave is 6 cm when the frequency is 10 hertz .

dedylja [7]

The distance between successive crests (or successive troughs) is defined as the wavelength. The time elapsed between the crossings of two successive crests through a given point is the period of the wave.
The Velocity of propagation (Vp) of a cable is the speed at which an electrical signal can propagate through the cable in comparison to the speed of light. For example, in a vacuum, the velocity of propagation would be 100% or 1 (depending on how it is represented).
The wave period is the time it takes to complete one cycle. The standard unit of a wave period is in seconds, and it is inversely proportional to the frequency of a wave, which is the number of cycles of waves that occur in one second.

A bicycle odometer which counts revolutions and is calibrated to report distance traveled is attached near the wheel axle and is

Bess [88]

Answer:

each rotation of the smaller wheel will show 84.382-75.3982=8.9838 inches more than the actual distance

Explanation:

d = Diameter of the wheel

The distance traveled in one rotation of the wheel is the circumference of the wheel

$\pi d=\pi\times 27\\ =84.823\ inch$

When diameter is 24 inches

$\pi d=\pi\times 24\\ =75.3982\ inch$

Therefore, each rotation of the smaller wheel will show 84.382-75.3982=8.9838 inches more than the actual distance
