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

Points A [at (2, 3) m] and B [at (5, 7) m] are in a region where the electric field is uniform and given by E = (4i+3j)N/C. What
kkurt [141]

Answer:

- 144 V

Explanation:

A = (2, 3) m = 2 i + 3 j

B = (5, 7) m = 5 i + 7 j

Displacement vector = AB = B - A = (3 i + 4 j) m

Electric field, E = (4 i + 3 j ) N/C

V = - E . AB

V = - (4 i + 3 j) . (3 i + 4 j)

V = - (12 + 12) = - 144 V

Create a ray diagram for eyeglasses that contain a diverging lens. Assume you are looking at a 2 cm tall object that is 4 cm fro
k0ka [10]

The ray diagram for the given object consists of 2 cm height of object, 4 cm object distance and 3 cm focal length.

<h3>Image formed by a diverging lens</h3>

Diverging lens is called a concave lens. The working of the lens is dependent on the refraction of the light rays as they pass through the lens.

Image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual, erect and diminished; smaller than the object and is located on the same side of the lens as the object.

The ray diagram for the given object is presented in the image in the diagram.

  • Object height = 2 cm
  • Focal length = 3 cm
  • Object distance = 4 cm

Dark clothing feels warmer than white clothing on a sunny day. Which interaction causes the dark clothing to feel warm?
yulyashka [42]

Explanation:

The darker the object, the better it emits heat, because it's a better absorber of light. On the other hand, a white object appears white because it reflects all the different wavelengths and absorbs little to no light.

A rat is pushed with a massive force. The mass of the rat is 2.3 kg and the acceleration of the rat is 9.5 m/s^2. What was the f
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Force = 21.85N

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.3kg

Acceleration = 9.5m/s²

To find the force;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Substituting into the equation, we have

Force = 2.3 * 9.5

Force = 21.85N

Therefore, the force applied to the rat is 21.85 Newton.

You are making a telephone out of two aluminum cans and some string. You can choose between two types of string: a 2-m length of
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

Explanation:

A)You can choose either because they are the same length and will produce the same wave speed.

B)You should use the heavy rope.

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

The speed of wave in a string is given by the following formula:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{u} }

Where |v| = speed of wave, F_T = tension in the string, and μ = mass per length of the string.

<em>Even though the two strings have the same length, the μ (mass/length) for the heavy rope will be more than the that of a thin rope. Consequently, the </em>F_T<em>:μ for the thin rope will be higher than that of the heavy rope and as such, gives a bigger |</em>v<em>|. </em>

Therefore, the thin rope should be used in order to get a faster wave speed in the telephone.

The correct option is C.
