Stu wanted to calculate the resistance of a light bulb
connected to a 4.0-V battery, with a resulting current of
0.5 A. He used the formula R = VI and obtained an
answer of 2 . Was Stu's answer correct? How do you
know?

8 ohms

Explanation:

Using ohms law,

V = IR

Or

R = V/I

Where

V = voltage

I = current

R = resistance

Given

V = 4.0V

I = 0.5 A

Therefore

4.0 = 0.5 x R

Divide both sides by 0.5

4.0/0.5 = 0.5/0.5 x R

8 = R

R = 8 ohms

He’s wrong because he used the wrong formula . If he used R = V/I , he’d have gotten it correctly

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
