Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{2I}$

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{3I}$

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{4I}$

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left

Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

Length of the massless beam; $L = 4.00m$

Distance of support from the left end; $x = 3.00m$

First mass; $m1 = 31.3 kg$

Distance of beam from the left end( m₁ is attached to ); $x_1 = ?$

Second mass; $m_2 = 61.7 kg$

Distance of beam from the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); $x_1 = 0.273m$

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, $m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2$

we divide both sides by $g$

$m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2$

Next, we make $x_1$ , the subject of the formula

$x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]$

We substitute in our given values

$x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]$

$x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m$

$x_1 = 2.46m$

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Why concave lens is called diverging lens

dangina [55]

When a parallel beam of light passes through a convex lens, the rays become farther from one another when the come out. This process of rays is called ''to diverge''. The concave lens makes rays of light diverge, so it is called diverging lens.

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp

Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

$m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)$

given that

$m_1 = 5 ounce$

$m_2 = 32 ounce$

For ball the change in speed will be

$v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph$

now from above equation

$5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v$

$\Delta v = 6.72 mph$

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

Fiora starts riding her bike at 18 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 12 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the

lord [1]

Answer:

t = 2.5 hours

Explanation:

given,

speed of the bike for t time= 18 mi/h

final speed of the bike after t time = 12 mi/h

total distance, D = 69 miles

total time, T= 4.5 hour

time for which speed of the bike is 18 mi/h = ?

we know distance = speed x time

now,

18 x t + 12 (4.5 - t) = 69

6 t + 54 = 69

6 t = 15

t = 2.5 hours

The bike was at the speed of 18 mi/h for 2.5 hours.
