Answer:

Explanation:

Changing the resistance of a resistor means the resistance is either increased or decreased.

a. When the resistance of the resistor is increased, the value of current flowing through the circuit decreases.

Example: given voltage of 6V, and a resistance of 30 Ohm's. The value of current flowing in the circuit is;

V = IR

6 = I x 30

I = 0.2 A

If the resistance is changed to 50 Ohm's, then:

I = 0.12 A

(ii) When the resistance of the resistor is decreased, the value of the current flowing through the circuit increases.

In the previous example, if the resistance is changed to 5 Ohm's, then:

V = IR

6 = I x 5

I = 1.2 A

(b) The voltage of the battery does not change since it is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit. Consider the examples stated above.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 200000 J

Explanation:

We use the formula of kinetic energy:

The formula to calculate kinetic energy is,

Here,

Ec =1/2 x  m x v^2

The mass of the roller coaster is,  m  =  1000  k g

The speed of the roller coaster is, v = 20.0 m/s

 Therefore,

Ec=1/2 x 1000kg x (20m/s)^2 = 200.000Joule

200,000J

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf
Tasya [4]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is (a) 312.5nm and (b) 125nm</em>

Explanation:

<em>The first step to take is to find The minimum thickness of the slick of the oil</em>

<em>Given that,</em>

<em>(a) tmin  λ/2n </em>

<em>We substitute 750nm ( in air) for λ and 1.20 for n for the expression of  minimum thickness t of the oil slick at that spot</em>

<em>thus,</em>

<em>tmin = (750nm)/2(1.2) = 312.5nm</em>

<em>The minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot is =312.5nm</em>

<em>(B) we find the minimum thickness t </em>

<em>The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be calculated by,</em>

<em>tmin = λ/4n</em>

<em>we then 750nm ( in air) for λ and 1.50 for n  in the expression for the minimum thickness of the slick of the oil.</em>

<em>tmin = (750nm)/4 (1.5) = 125nm</em>

<em>Therefore the minimum thickness t will now be = 125nm</em>
