Why are identical bulbs arranged in a series circuit with a battery less bright than those arranged in a parallel circuit with t

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

Explanation:

Resistors connected in series obey the following equation:

R_{\rm eq} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + ...

Resistors connected in parallel obey the following equation:

\frac{1}{R_{\rm eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + ...

The total current of the circuit will obey the Ohm's Law: V = IR. And the current will be divided across the resistors (bulbs) depending on their resistances. So, if a bulb has a higher resistance, then its current will be lesser, and it will be less bright. If a bulb has a lower resistance, then its current will be higher, and it will be brighter.

According to the above resistances connected in series and parallel, clearly, the resistances (bulbs) connected in series will have more resistance in total, and therefore less current will flow across them, and they will be less bright.

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 690 km/h . A) If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:a) 629,5851 km/h in magnitude b)629,5851 km/h at 84,2 degrees from east pointing south direction or in vector form 626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east. c) 16,5 km NE of the desired position

Explanation:

Since the plane is flying south at 690 km/h and the wind is blowing at assumed constant speed of 90 km/h from SW, we get a triangle relation where

 

see fig 1

Then we can decompose those 90 km/h into vectors, one north and one east, both of the same magnitude, since the angle is 45 degrees with respect to the east, that is direction norhteast or NE, then

90 km/h NE= 63,6396 km/h north + 63,6396 km/h east,

this because we have an isosceles triangle, then the cathetus length is  

hypotenuse/\sqrt{2}

using Pythagoras, here the hypotenuse is 90, then the cathetus are of length

90/\sqrt{2} km/h= 63,6396 km/h.  

Now the total speed of the plane is

690km/h south + 63,6396 km/h north +63,6396 km/h east,

this is 626,3604 km/h south + 63,6396 km/h east,  here north is as if we had -south.

then using again Pythagoras we get the magnitude of the total speed it is

\sqrt{626,3604 ^2+63,6396^2} km/h=629,5851km/h,

the direction is calculated with respect to the south using trigonometry, we know the

sin x= cathetus opposed / hypotenuse,

then

x= sin^{-1}'frac{63,6396}{629,5851}=5,801 degrees from South as reference (0 degrees) in East direction or as usual 84,2 degrees from east pointing south or in vector form

626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h  east.

Finally since the detour is caused by the west speed component plus the slow down caused by the north component of the wind speed, we get

Xdetour{east}= 63,6396 km/h* (11 min* h)/(60 min)=11,6672 km=Xdetour{north} ,

since 11 min=11/60 hours=0.1833 hours.

Then the total detour from the expected position, the one it should have without the influence of the wind, we get  

Xdetour=[/tex]\sqrt{2*  11,6672x^{2} }[/tex]  = 16,5km at 45 degrees from east pointing north

The situation is sketched as follows  see fig 2

a 28.7 KG sled is pulled forward with a 63 net force across the ground with MK equals 0.169 what is the acceleration of the sled
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.54\ \text{m/s}^2

Explanation:

F = Force on the sled = 63 N

m = Mass of sled = 28.7 kg

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.169

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

The force balance of the system is given by

F-\mu_k mg=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{F-\mu_k mg}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{63-0.169\times 28.7\times 9.81}{28.7}\\\Rightarrow a=0.54\ \text{m/s}^2

The acceleration of the sled is 0.54\ \text{m/s}^2.
