Answer:

(a) higher resistance bulb in series

(b) The bulb which has lower resistance should bright more as there is more flow of current in it while connected in parallel.

Explanation:

If the light bulbs are in series, each will have the same current. The power dissipated by the bulb as heat and light is given by P=I^2*R. Thus the bulb with the higher resistance will be brighter.

if the bulbs are in parallel, each will have the same voltage. The power dissipated by the bulb as heat and light is given by P=V^2*/R. Thus the bulb with the lower resistance will be brighter.

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

The graph illustrates the activity level of three common digestive enzymes, across a range of pH values. Which enzyme is likely
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(A) Pepsin

Explanation:

From the graph it is clear that pepsin is the only enzyme which works in highly acidic condintion in the digestive system.

  • less than 7 the liquid is acidic
  • above 7 the liquid is basic
  • at 7 the liquid is neutral

It has an optimum pH of about 1.5 at which its activity level is 8.5 as shown in graph.

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

<em>-z axis</em>

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.

Answer:

Pressure, P = 32666.66 Pa

Explanation:

It is given that,

Surface area of foot of Bimaba is 150 cm² or 0.015 m².

Her weight is 50 kg

We need to find the pressure does she exert on the ground, as she stands on  her one foot. The force acting per unit area is called pressure. It can be given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{50\times 9.8}{0.015}\\\\P=32666.66\ Pa

So, the pressure is 32666.66 Pa.

An iron wire has length 8.0m and a diameter 0.50mm. The sir has a resistance R.
Rudik [331]
The re<span>sistance of the second wire is 16 R.
where R is the resistance of the first wire.

R = </span>ρ\frac{l}{A}
where l = length of the wire
A = area of the wire
A = \pi r^{2} where, r = \frac{diameter of wire}{2}

Thus, on finding the ratio of resistance of the two wires, we get,

\frac{R1}{R2} =  \frac{l1A2}{l2A1}

here, R1 = R
l1 = 8m
l2 = 2m
A1=π0.25^{2}
A1=π0.50^{2}

we get. R2 = 16R
