1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

P=I^2 R

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W

For the second bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

<em>D=S×T </em>

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The strength of gravity decreases.

An example of that would be if you were in space; you float around because there's no gravity.

1. Calculate the average velocity of the following trip. You walk to Pershing Square 58
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement / time

v = √((58 m)² + (135 m)²) / (12 min × 60 s/min)

v = 0.20 m/s
