Explanation:

Antoine lavoisier is most famous for his role in discovering of oxygen. He recognized and name two important element oxygen(1778) and hydrogen(1779).

In a chemical reaction, Lavoisier observed the mass is retained. A chemical reaction's total mass of the products will always be the same as the total mass of the reactant materials used in the reaction. His results led to one of the basic laws of chemical behavior: the law of material preservation, which states that matter is preserved in a chemical reaction.

Determine the frequency of a sound wave if it has a speed of 350 m/s and a wavelength of 3.80 m.

Eva8 [605]

Since we have , v=f×lambda (wavelength). Where v equals 350m/s and wavelength equals 3.80. so it will become f = v/lambda=350/3.80=92.1052Hz

Ocean currents near the equator are primarily: eastward westward north and south clockwise

sladkih [1.3K]

Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.

A car driving at a constant speed of 64 mi/h travels 68 miles. How many hours did this take?

babymother [125]

64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.

A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance o

gulaghasi [49]

A. 0.77 A

Using the relationship:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R the resistance, we can find the resistance of each bulb.

For the first light bulb, P = 60 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{60 W}=240 \Omega$

For the second light bulb, P = 200 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{200 W}=72 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected in series, so their equivalent resistance is

$R=R_1 + R_2 = 240 \Omega + 72 \Omega =312 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected to a voltage of

V = 240 V

So we can find the current through the two bulbs by using Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{240 V}{312 \Omega}=0.77 A$

B. 142.3 W

The power dissipated in the first bulb is given by:

$P_1=I^2 R_1$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_1 = 240 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_1 = (0.77 A)^2 (240 \Omega)=142.3 W$

C. 42.7 W

The power dissipated in the second bulb is given by:

$P_2=I^2 R_2$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_2 = 72 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_2 = (0.77 A)^2 (72 \Omega)=42.7 W$

D. The 60-W bulb burns out very quickly

The power dissipated by the resistance of each light bulb is equal to:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

E is the amount of energy dissipated

t is the time interval

From part B and C we see that the 60 W bulb dissipates more power (142.3 W) than the 200-W bulb (42.7 W). This means that the first bulb dissipates energy faster than the second bulb, so it also burns out faster.
