In order to make things easier to describe and explain, let's call
the resistance of each bulb 'R', and the battery voltage 'V'.
a). In series, the total resistance is 3R.
In parallel, the total resistance is R/3.
Changing from series to parallel, the total resistance of the circuit
decreases to 1/9 of its original value.
b). In series, the total current is V / (3R) .
In parallel, the total current is 3V / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the total current in the circuit
increases to 9 times its original value.
c). In series, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · V/3R = V² / 3R .
In parallel, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · 3V/R = 3V² / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the power dissipated by
the circuit (also the power delivered by the battery) increases
to 9 times its original value.
If both waves have the same wavelength, then the amplitude of
their sum could be anything between 1 cm and 9 cm, depending
on the phase angle between them.
If the waves have different wavelengths, then the resultant is a beat
with an amplitude of 9 cm.
I believe that the correct answer you are looking for is the distance traveled
The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time. According To a website on google
This question is based on the fundamental assumption of vector direction.
A vector is a physical quantity which has magnitude as well direction for its complete specification.
The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.
A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector. For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.
As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.
The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.
Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.
In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .
So last option is partially correct as the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.
