Answer and Explanation:

It is given that bulb A has the half the resistance as B

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES : In series circuit we know that current is same in the whole circuit

The power is given by P=i^2R the expression it is clear that the bulb which has more resistance consume more power as current is same, and the bulb which consume more power will be brightest

It is given that resistance of bulb A is half the resistance of B So bulb A will be dimmest in this case

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL : In parallel circuit voltage is same across the circuit

The power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R} from the expression it is clear that the bulb which has least resistance will consume more power and so will be brightest

As the resistance of bulb A is less so it will be brightest in this case

kogti [31]

Answer:

 β₂ = 88.8 dβ

Explanation:

The intensity of the sound is

        β = 10 log (I / I₀)

The sensitivity threshold (I₀) for humans is 1 10⁻¹² W / m²

       I = I₀  10^{\beta /10}

       I = 10⁻¹² 10^{70/10}  

       I = 1 10⁻⁵ W / m²

The total intensity for the 76 trombones is

         I_total = n I

         I_total = 76 1 10⁻⁵

         I_total = 76 10⁻⁵ W / m²

Let's find the sound level

       β₂ = 10 log (76 10⁻⁵ / 10⁻¹²)

       β₂ = 88.8 dβ

Calculate the height from which a body is released rest if its velocity just before hitting the ground is 30ms-1
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

45.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Final velocity  = 30m/s

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Height of fall  = ?

Solution:

  The motion equation to solve this problem is given below;

            V² = U² + 2gH

            V²  = 0 + (2 x 9.8 x H)

           30²  = 19.6H

              H = \frac{900}{19.6}   = 45.9m

Both slicing a tomato and a chemical change such as burning toast cannot be reversed. however why is slicing a tomato sill consi
kondaur [170]
Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change
hope this helps:)
