Answer:
Force
Explanation:
The mass of an object is the quantity of matter it contains. It is measured in kilograms.
Acceleration is the ratio of the change in the velocity of an object to the change in time. It is measured in m/.
When the mass of an object is multiplied with its acceleration, this gives the average force applied on the object. As force is defined as agent that can change the state of an object.
i.e F = m × a
where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.
The two major classes of force are; contact force and field force.
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:
And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):
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:
where I is the current and R is the resistance.
For the first bulb:
For the second bulb:
3) 12 W
The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:
