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.

What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?
mario62 [17]

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?
zzz [600]
IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy =  (mass)  x   (gravity) x (height)

                           = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

                           =      29.4 kg-m²/s²  =  29.4 joules .

A black lift of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

refractive index of ember = sin of angle of incidence / sin of angle of refraction

= sin 35 / sin24

= .5735 / .4067

= 1.41

This is refractive index of ember with respect to water

refractive index of ember with respect to water

= wμe = μe / μw

μe = wμe x  μw

= 1.33 x 1.41

= 1.87

refractive index of ember with respect to air = 1.87 .

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well
