Answer:

the current increases, and the light will shine brighter

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

Let's apply this law to the circuit described in the problem. In this case, the voltage is assumed to be constant, while the resistance is decreased. We can re-write the Ohm's law expliciting the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}

We see that the current (I) is inversely proportional to the resistance (R), so if the resistance decreases, then the current increases.

Therefore, in this case the current will increase, and the light will shine brighter.

Carts A and B are identical and are moving toward each other on a track. The speed of cart A is v, while the speed of cart B is
borishaifa [10]

Answer: k= \frac{5mv^{2} }{2}

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for kinetic energy is given below as

k = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where k=kinetic energy (joules), m= mass of object (kg), v= velocity of object m/s)

For cart A

m_{a} = mass of cart A

v_{a} = v = velocity of cart A

K.E_{a} = kinetic energy of cart A

hence, K.E_{a} = \frac{m_{a}v^{2}  }{2}

For cart B

m_{b} = mass of cart B

v_{b} = 2v = velocity of cart B

K.E_{b} = kinetic energy of cart B

hence, K.E_{b} = \frac{m_{b}(2v^{2}) }{2} = 2m_{b} v^{2}

from the question, both cart are identical which implies they have the same mass i.e m_{a} = m_{b} = m which implies that

K.E_{a}= \frac{mv^{2} }{2} and K.E_{b}  =2mv^{2}

The total kinetic energy K is the sum of cart A and cart B kinetic energy

K=K.E_{a} + K.E_{b}

K=\frac{mv^{2} }{2} + 2mv^{2}

hence

K=\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}

Three balls are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density less than the den
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

Explanation:

Ball 1 is floating on water. Weight of ball 1 is Fg=m1g  is acting vertically downward

Force of buoyancy FB = ρVdisg is acting vertically upward.

Net force acting on the ball is zero, FB=Fg

Answer

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

What is the explanation for how a modern transmission electron microscope (TEM) can achieve a resolution of about 0.2 nanometers
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A simple light microscope uses light for imaging of objects where as a transmission electron microscope uses a monochromatic beam of electrons.

This beam is passed by a magnetic field which is very strong and thus act as a lens.

Its resolution of very high which is about 0.2 nanometers because of the separation between two atoms.

Because of this reason its resolution is about 1000 times greater than light microscope.
