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.

How much net force is required to accelerate a 2000 kg car at 3.00 m/s^2
andrezito [222]

The net force required to accelerate a car is 6000 N.

Force is defined as the product of the mass and acceleration of the body. Force is used to changing the velocity that is to accelerate an object or a body of a particular mass. The unit of Force is Newton or kg m/s^2.

The formula used to calculate the net force is :

F = ma

where, F = Force

m = mass = 2000 kg

a = acceleration = 3.00 m/s^2

∴ F = 2000*3

F = 6000 N

Thus, to accelerate the car at 3.00 m/s^2 of mass 2000 kg net force required is 6000 N.

Qué ocurre con el espectro cuando se interpone el celofán de colores?
Travka [436]

Answer: You will only see the color that cellophane lets through

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact the whole electromagnetic spectrum is known as "white light", which is composed by a range of colors (wavelengths).

Now, if we have a source with white light (the Sun, for example) and we interpose a cellophane of any color (let's choose red), this cellophane will act as a filter and will only let pass the color of the cellophane.

This is because the filter will absorb the other colors of the spectrum.

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .
