The current values in and out of the battery is going to be equal to the sum of the currents going through the light bulbs. In a parallel circuit, the current is divided as it enters different branches and light bulbs. However, the amount of current leaving the battery is always going to be the same as the amount of current entering the battery. Therefore, while current divides in a parallel circuit, the total amount of current always remains the same.
Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.
Explanation:
As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.
If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:
mg - T = ma
If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.
A because that is the answer
Alternating current (AC) flows half the time in one direction and half the time in the other, changing its polarity 120 times per second with 60-hertz current.
