Hi there!

Since the two resistors are in series, we can simply add:
$R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ... R_n$

$R_T = 20 + 5 = \boxed{25 \Omega}$

In series, the potential difference of each resistor (lamp) ADDS UP. We can begin by finding the current through the circuit using Ohm's law:
$V = IR\\\\I = \frac{V}{R_T}$

Plug in the values:
$I = \frac{50}{25} = 2 A$

Now,

we can use Ohm's law to find the individual voltage for each lamp.

20 Ohm lamp:
$V = 2 * 20 = \boxed{40 V}$

5 Ohm lamp:
$V = 2 * 5 = \boxed{10 V}$

To solve, we can use the power equation.

$P (\text{Watts})= IV$

Plug in the values for each.

20 Ohm lamp:
$P = 2 * 40 = \boxed{80 W}$

5 Ohm lamp:
$P = 2 * 10 = \boxed{100 W}$

What should be done to lift the same load by applying less effort on an inclined plane

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Reduce the friction at the surface

Explanation:

If you can reduce the friction between the load and the plane less effort will be required as you are not having to apply effort to overcome friction.

Why do noble gases tend to be nonreactive

attashe74 [19]

Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level. This is the most stable arrangement of electrons, so noble gases rarely react with other elements and form compounds. PLZ MARK ME BRAINLIEST

A roller coaster has a vertical loop with radius 25.7 m. With what minimum speed should the roller-coaster car be moving at the

gogolik [260]

Answer:

15.88m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

$F_g = F_c\\mg = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{9.81 \times 25.7} = 15.88 m/s$

Lottery balls are thrown into a hopper and are set into motion by air forced through the container. each ball has a mass of 0.00

Marina CMI [18]

In this three body system total kinetic energy remains constant:
$E_{k} = constant =0.0268 J$

$E_{k} = E_{k1}+ E_{k2}+ E_{k3}$
If we assume that upwards movement is positive and downwards movement is negative the formula is:
$E_{k} = E_{k1}- E_{k2}+ E_{k3}$

Formula for kinetic energy is:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v^{2} }{2}$

Now we have:
$E_{k} = \frac{m v_{1} ^{2} }{2} -\frac{m v_{2} ^{2} }{2} +\frac{m v_{3} ^{2} }{2} \\ E_{k} = \frac{m}{2} (v_{1} ^{2}-v_{2} ^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0268= \frac{0.0044}{2} (1.3 ^{2}-1.66^{2}+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ 0.0536=0.0022(1.69-2.7556+v_{3} ^{2}) \\ \\ v_{3} ^{2}=25.43 \\ \\ v_{3} =+-5.04$

We got two solutions: positive and negative. The speed is 5.04 m/s and direction can be upwards and downwards.
