Answer:

i) 60 W

ii) 100 W

Explanation:

In each case, the bulb that dissipates the most power is the bulb that glows brighter.  Power is voltage times current (P = VI).  Using Ohm's law, we can rewrite this as P = I²R or P = V²/R.

Bulbs are rated at a certain power for a certain voltage.  P = V²/R, so the bulb with the lower resistance will have the higher power rating.  Therefore, the 100 W bulb has a lower resistance than the 60 W bulb.

i) They are in series, so they have the same current.  P = I²R, so the bulb with the higher resistance will glow brighter.  That's the 60 W bulb.

ii) They are in parallel, so they have the same voltage.  P = V²/R, so the bulb with the lower resistance will glow brighter.  That's the 100 W bulb.

Consider two massless springs connected in series. Spring 1 has a spring constant k1, and spring 2 has a spring constant k2. A c
Andru [333]

Answer:

a. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹ b. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹

Explanation:

Since only one force F acts, the force on spring with spring constant k₁ is F = k₁x₁ where x₁ is its extension

the force on spring with spring constant k₂ is F = k₂x₂ where x₁ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹

B

The force on spring with spring constant k₃ is F = k₃x₃ where x₃ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂ + F/k₃

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹
