Let's try to understand what production and productivity mean and how it is impacted by the inputs.
Production refers to the total units of production given a mix of
inputs being used - Technology, labor, human capital, and natural
resources. Total output or production is a function of not only
labor or capital or technology or natural resources being used but
also a factor of total factor productivity that measures the
efficiency.
Total factor productivity is nothing but a variable that
accounts for effects in total output not caused by traditional
inputs of labor/capital/technology/natural resources.
Thus, even though, we might keep all the input the same, the total
output can still increase, and with time there is an increase in
productivity as well.
Thus, Holding technology, labor, human capital, and natural resources the same, production would increase and productivity would increase.

3. Does the resistance of the whole circuit increase, decrease, or stay the same when additional light bulbs are added in parallel? 4. Does the voltage across each individual light bulb increase, decrease, or stay the same when additional light bulbs are added in parallel?
It would decrease because the moment of inertia has increased It would stay the same because it is independent of mass mass is increased? It would increase because there is more torque It would stay the same because the moment of inertia and mass both increased
