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 a 5000-kg is moving at a speed of 43 m/s, what is its momentum?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

215000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the moving body  = 5000kg

Velocity  = 43m/s

Unknown:

Momentum  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.

 It is mathematically expressed as:

  Momentum  = mass x velocity

 Now:

  Momentum  = 5000 x 43  = 215000kgm/s

Which theory states that if you are forced to smile at an event, you will enjoy it? A. The Schachter-Singer theory B. The Lazaru
Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. The facial feedback theory

Explanation:

The facial feedback theory as postulated by William James and connects back to the famous Charles Darwin talks about how facial expressions stimulate our emotional state of being. Based on this theory, the emotional experiences we have are determined by the looks on our faces.

According to the question, smiling at an event makes you enjoy it is an example of what the The facial feedback theory is explaining. Furthermore, smiling, which is a facial expression causes or stimulates an emotional state of enjoyment in that event.
