Six light bulbs are connected in series with a 9.0 volt battery. What is the voltage across each bulb?

1 answer:

5 0

Voltage adds in a series and the amount of voltage dropped due to each resistor in a circuit (the light bulbs are resistors) depends on the resistance of each.

Assuming equal resistance of each light bulb, the voltage dropped on each is equal and should add up to 9V (Kirchoff's Rules).

So 9V/6 = 1.5V per light bulb.

What are non-metals?<br>explain briefly

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that is mechanically weak in its most stable form, brittle if solid, and usually gains or shares electrons in chemical reactions. There is no universal agreement on which elements are nonmetals; the numbers generally range from fourteen to twenty-three, depending on the criterion or criteria of interest.

Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 104 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), th

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The blue boat traveled 6.1 km farther west than the green boat

The green boat traveled 10.7 km farther south than the blue boat

Explanation:

The equation for linear uniform speed movement is

X(t) = X0 + v * t

Since we have two coordinates (X, Y) we use

X(t) = X0 + vx * t

Y(t) = Y0 + vy * t

The dock will be the origin of coordinates so X0 and Y0 will be zero. The X axis will be pointing west and the Y axis south.

The blue boat moves with a direction 24° south of west, so it will have speeds:

vxb = 104 * cos(24) = 95 km/h

vyb = 104 * sin(24) = 42.3 km/h

And the green boat:

vxg = 104 * cos(37.7) = 82.3 km/h

vyg = 104 * sin(37.7) = 63.6 km/h

After half hour the boats will have arrived at positions

Xb = 95 * 0.5 = 47.5 km

Yb = 42.3 * 0.5 = 21.1 km

And

Xg = 82.3 * 0.5 = 41.4 km

Yg = 63.6 * 0.5 = 31.8 km

The difference in positions of the boats

47.5 - 41.4 = 6.1 km

31.8 - 21.1 = 10.7 km

Which change will increase the speed of a sound wave traveling in a solid aluminum rod? changing the rod from a solid to a liqui

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

increasing the temperature of the rod

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave and its speed in a solid rod is given by the formula

$v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}$

here we know that

Y = young's modulus

$\rho$ = density of the medium

so as we increase the temperature of rod the density of the rod will decrease while the elasticity will remain same

So on increasing the temperature we can say that speed will increase due to decrease in the density

How can we define force?

zimovet [89]

Explanation:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer experience the force.
