When resistors are connected in series, they act like
a single resistor whose resistance is their sum. 

100 ohms and 400 ohms, connected in series, look like
a single resistor of 500 ohms.

           Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

                        = (60 volts) / (500 ohms) = 0.12 A.

Current is measured by connecting a meter in series
with an energized component.  In other words, a break
is made in the circuit, the meter is connected in the break,
and the current to be measured literally flows through the meter.</span>

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects
statuscvo [17]
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.

What is electric current
Bond [772]

Answer:

Electric current is electric charge in motion. It can take the form of a sudden discharge of static electricity, such as a lightning bolt or a spark between your finger and a ground light switch plate. ... Most electric charge is carried by the electrons and protons within an atom.
