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

If the mass of the block is 5 kg and the speed 7 m/s, what is the work done <br> on the block?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A block of mass M = 5 kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.2. When a force F = 40N is applied, the acceleration of the block will be then (g=10ms

2 ).

Mass of the block=5kg

Coeffecient of friction=0.2

external applied force, F=40N

The angle at which the force is applied=30degree

So the horizontal component of force=Fcos30=40×

23 =20 3 N

While the uertical component of the force acting in upward direction=Fsin30=40× 21

​ =20N

The normal reaction from the surface (N)=mg−Fsin30=50−20=30N

So the ualue of limiting friction=μN=0.2×30=6N

Hence the net horizontal force on the block=Fcos30=μN=20

3

​

N−6N=28.64N

The horizontal acceleration of the block=

m

Fcos30−μN = 528.64

​  =5.73m/s 2

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.
