9W 3V bulb need current flow
I = P/V = 9/3 = 3A

connected serially, voltage drop on the wire will be = Vsupply - 3(Vbulb) = 12 - 3(3) = 3V.

resistance of the wire ,with I=3 and V=3, = V/I = 3/3 = 1 Ohm.

In order for a 3V bulb to dissipate 9W, the current through it must be 3A.
R = E/I = 3v/3A .  The resistance of such a bulb is 1 ohm.

There are two correct answers to the question, since the question itself
is ambiguous and may be understood in two different ways (at least) ...
series and parallel.

If the three bulbs are in series and the mystery wire will be placed
in series with them, then . . . . .

-- The current everywhere in the series circuit is 3 A .
-- The resistance across the supply is  R = E/I = 12v/3A  =  4 ohms.
-- 3 of the total 4 ohms is in the bulbs.
-- The additional wire must provide the additional 1 ohm .

If the three bulbs are in parallel and the mystery wire will be placed
in series with them, then . . . . .

-- The three bulbs in parallel form an effective resistance of 1/3 ohm.
-- The voltage across the parallel section of the circuit is 3v.
-- The additional wire must drop 9 volts across itself. 
-- The total current through the 3 branches of the parallel section,
    as well as through the additional piece of wire in series with it, is 9 A.
--  The resistance of the wire must be  R = E/I  =  9v/9A = 1 ohm.

Verrry interesting ! 
Whether the bulbs are in series or in parallel,
the same 1-ohm piece of wire does the job.

What problim in flywheel
Gwar [14]

Answer:

There are several tell-tale signs that there is a problem with either the starter or flywheel that is preventing your car from starting or causing starting issues. Free spinning is when, for some reason, the starter gear is just spinning without contacting anything. The sound is similar to that of a small drill spinning.

please can u mark me as branliest

Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each have a speed of 95 km/h with respect to the ground. If they are ini
viva [34]
If they are both  traveling with the same speed that means that they will reach other in the middle of the line initially between them. In other word, each will have to travel the same amount before they reach other. 

Now you can calculate the time it takes for only one locomotive to travel half of the total distance between them, and that time is equal to the time you are looking for.

Use 
   t =  S1/2 / v

  where t-time, S-distance traveled , v-velocity
