If two lightbulbs are parallel to each other, they have the same brightness. If the same two lightbulbs are put in series with e

ach other, they also have the same brightness but are dimmer than when they are in parallel. Explain why.

Answer:

Explanation:

The bulbs becomes dimmer because effective resistance of the circuit increases since the resistance of the circuit in series connection involves adding the individual resistance compared to in parallel connection where the effective resistance = 1 / R1 + 1/R2 = R1 R2 / ( R2 + R1). The brightness remains the same because the lightbulbs must be of the same resistance. Also using ohm's law

V = IR

I = V / R

I is inversely proportional to the current in the circuit so as R, effective resistance of the circuit increases, I, current decreases  and vice versa

A 762 kg car experiences a braking force of 9045 N and skids to a stop in 4.3 seconds. What is the speed of the car just before
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The solution for this problem is:

We will be using the formula for force which is F = ma 

=>10,000 = 2000 * a 

but we need to solve for acceleration so divide both sides by 2000, we will get:

=>a = 5 m/s^2 

Let the initial velocity was u m/s 

=>By v = u - at 

=>0 = u - 5 x 6 

Since acceleration is constant the velocity can be computed by multiplying the acceleration by 6 seconds. 

=>u = 30 m/s

What is the energy equivalent of an object with a mass of 1.83 kg?
xxMikexx [17]
To determine the energy equivalent of an object, we use the famous equation of Einstein which is E=mc^2 where m is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s). We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2
E = 1.83 kg (3x10^8 m/s)^2
E = 1.647x10^17 J

Why concave lens is called diverging lens​
dangina [55]

When a parallel beam of light passes through a convex lens, the rays become farther from one another when the come out. This process of rays is called ''to diverge''. The concave lens makes rays of light diverge, so it is called diverging lens.
