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
6 0

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.

What is Newton’s second law of motion
ddd [48]

"<em>F = dP/dt. </em> The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way.  So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"<em>F = m·A.</em>  The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the search to explain planetary orbits exemplifies the scientific method and then use of mo
kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

An object has 90,000 J of kinetic energy and is moving at 12 m/s. What is the objects mass?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

plug it into your calculator

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = KE = Joules = J

KE= 1/2mv^2

90,000 = 1/2 m (12^2)

180,000 = m (144)

m = 180,000 / 144

Does the universe need explaining or can it just 'be' there?
Naddik [55]

Recently, We've been discussing this specific topic in my RS class. So, there are many theories to explain the existence of the world such as the Big Bang, Evolution or the Creation story.

Although these are three different ideas, they can still be related or interconnected with one another in some way. For example, George Lemaintre's Big Bang explanation can be linked with the Creation story in ways such as God being present at the Big Bang or even God being the one to allow the Big Bang occur.

Furthermore, God might have created us as apes or monkeys then we evolved to become humans.

In conclusion, the universe couldn't have come to pass just like that, they're must be Scientific or Theological truths to back this up. The only thing is that people have their unique beliefs, according to their religion, culture and childhood background.
