<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The 2 light bulbs can be connected in parallel to each other to avoid disconnection when one bulb burns out.

Explanation:

The parallel connection is required not series. A parallel connection is the connection of electronic components (e.g bulbs, LED, resistors, capacitors etc) in such a way that the same voltage is supplied across the ends of the components.  While in a series connection, the components are connected to each other end-to-end.

As regard the question, parallel connection ensures that the brightness any of the bulbs is not affected with respect to the other bulbs. And other bulbs continue to function when any burns out. The 2 light bulbs should be connected in parallel to the baterry to avoid disconnection of all the bulbs.

A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon
Tasya [4]

Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v
