The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

Ohm’s Law is represented by the equation I=V/R. Explain how the current would change if the amount of resistance decreased and t
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The current will increase with reduction in the resistance.

Explanation:

Electrical resistance reduces the flow of electricity through a conductor just like friction reduces our speed. The higher the resistance the harder it will be for the current to flow and vice versa, hence, higher resistance produces a smaller current if the voltage is held constant. The voltage is the electrical drive.

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t
MrMuchimi

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity u_x. It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 0 m/s for u_y, 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

x=u_xt

Substitute 500 m/s for u_x and 0.5530s for t.

x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.
