In our lab experiment on Ohm's law, the power supply is connected to a circuit containing one resistor, and a direct current of

1.5 A is drawn. If you connect a second identical resistor to the power supply in parallel with the first, (similar to what we did in the lab) how much current is drawn from the battery?
(A) 3.0 A
(B) 0.75 A
(C) 1.5 A
(D) 6.0 A

Answer: (A) 3.0=A

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the OHM law, given by: V=R*I

Besides, we have to consider the resitance equivalent for a parallel connection. This is given by:

1/Re=1/R1+1/R2

If we connect the same resistance, the equivalent resistance is R/2.

Initlally  the current is 1.5 A when one resistance is connected to the batttery. When a second resistance with the same value is connected in parallel to the battery, we have V=Re*Ifinal= (R/2)*Ifinal

also we know that V=R*Iinitial so Iinitial=V/R

then Ifinal= 2*V/R=2*Iinitial

Vesnalui [34]

From the law of Galileo Galilei  :v²=v₀²+2ad we take the speed

v²=0+2*4.90*200=1960=>v=√1960=44.27 m/s

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
