You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla

ces them in series across normal household voltage. Which statement is correct? a. Both bulbs glow at the same reduced brightness. b Both bulbs glow at the tame increased brightness c. The 100-W bulb glows more brightly than the 50-W bulb d. The 50-W bulb glows more brightly than the 100-W bulb

Answer:

The 50-W bulb glows more brightly than the 100-W bulb

Explanation:

The bulb has a rating of 100 W under 110 V . So it will glow with full brightness when it is fed 110 V . When bulbs are in parallel combination , each bulb receives 110 V . So they glow with full brightness .

When they are in series combination , 110 supply voltage gets distributed between the , thus  , reducing the voltage appearing on each of them less than 110 V . So their brightness is reduced.

resistance = V

Bulb having high wattage rating has low resistance resulting in higher current . In the second case , both have same current as they are in series combination . So more heat will be generated in bulb having more resistance . Since 50 W bulb has higher resistance , it will glow brighter than 100 W bulb.

a student drops an object from the top of a building which is 19.6 m high. How long does it take the object to fall to the groun
zubka84 [21]

Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before. 
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.

This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:

               Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).

                           D = 1/2 A T²

For your student who dropped an object out of the window,

     Distance = 19.6 m
     Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

                                              D = 1/2 G T²

                                          19.6 =   4.9   T²

Divide each side by 4.9 :       4  =           T²

Square root each side:           2  =          T

When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes  2  seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.

According to relativity theory, if a space trip finds a son or daughter biologically older than his or her parents, then the spa
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. parents

Explanation:

one of the conclusions from Einsteins relativity theory for his equation E=mC^{2} (where E is energy, m is mass and C is the speed of light),

is that time moves relative to the observer. Time moves more slowly when the observer is in motion (time dilation), therefore an individual in motion ages more slowly than someone at rest. This in fact happened when astronaut Scot Kelly spent nearly a year on board the international space station and on his return, his twin brother had aged slightly faster than him. In conclusion, if a space trip finds a son or daughter is biologically older than his or her parents, the space trip was taken by the parents.

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m
