Answer:

b. The current stays the same.

Explanation:

In the case given current is supplied by the battery to a bulb . Here, we should know that bulb also apply resistance to the flow of current .

Now, when an identical bulb is connected in parallel to the original bulb .

Therefore, both the resistance( bulb) are in parallel.

We know, when two resistance are in parallel , current through them is same and voltage is divided between them.

Therefore, in this case current stays same in the original bulb.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two forces of magnitudes 4.0 Newtons and 3.0 Newtons pull on a box. The forces make an angle of 40° with each other. What is the

leonid [27]

Answer:

6.6 N

Explanation:

Let's take the direction of the force of 4.0 N as positive x-direction. This means that the force of 3.0 N is at 40 degrees above it. So the components of the two forces along the x- and y-directions are:

$F_{1x} = 4.0 N\\F_{1y} = 0$

$F_{2x} = 3.0 N cos 40^{\circ}=2.3 N\\F_{2y} = 3.0 N sin 40^{\circ} = 1.9 N$

So the resultant has components

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=4.0 N +2.3 N = 6.3 N\\F_y = F_{1y} + F_{2y} = 0 + 1.9 N = 1.9 N$

So the magnitude of the resultant is

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}=\sqrt{(6.3)^2+(1.9)^2}=6.6 N$

And in order for the body to be balanced, the third force must be equal and opposite (in direction) to this force: so, the magnitude of the third force must be 6.6 N.

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?

aliina [53]

When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.
