A resistor DECREASES the speed of current as a resistors job is to resist the flow of electrons

The resistance is nothing but the obstruction posed to the current flowing through it. as the resistance increases, the amount of obstruction increases and makes the current to flow more slowly through the resistor. hence increase in the value of resistance results in decrease in the speed of the current.

The speed of the current decreases.

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg

A 1.50x103-kilogram car is traveling east at 30 meters per second.

frez [133]

Answer:

$39000\ \text{kg m/s}$

West

Explanation:

m = Mass of car = $1.3\times 10^{3}\ \text{kg}$

t = Time = 9 seconds

u = Initial velocity = 30 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

Impulse is given by

$J=m(v-u)\\\Rightarrow J=1.3\times 10^3(0-30)\\\Rightarrow J=-39000\ \text{kg m/s}$

The magnitude of the total impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest is $39000\ \text{kg m/s}$ .

The direction is towards west as the sign is negative.

If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element Y would combine with 11

kykrilka [37]

This is sort of simple. 2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY. Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X. So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY. Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22. If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.

if you run around a circle at 4.5 m/s and the circle has a radius of 7.7 m, what is your centripetal acceleration?

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration,

$a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.

Centripetal means towards the center.

Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.

An acceleration is a change in velocity.

Formula for Centripetal acceleration:

$a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}$

Given here,

Velocity = 4.5 m/s

radius = 7.7 m

To Find :

$a_{c} = ?$

Solution:

We have,

$a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}$

Substituting given value in it we get

$a_{c} =\frac{(4.5)^{2}}{7.7} \\\\a_{c} =\frac{20.25}{7.7}\\\\a_{c} =2.629\ m/s^{2} \\\\\therefore a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2$

Centripetal acceleration,

$a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }$
