Well energy absorption by a material depends upon their atomic properties. Energy is absorbed in discrete quanta of energy as predicted by quantum mechanics only if the corresponding energy state is available either it is absorbed by electrons or nucleus depends whether it can go to permissible energy state, if not system can't absorb energy at all.
Lifting weights, did this yesterday :))
Answer:
Series equivalent resistance:
Parallel equivalent resistance: 
Explanation:
The equivalent resistance in series circuit is calculated as



The equivalent resistance in parallel circuit is calculated as

Which can be simplified to



The parallel circuit has the higher equivalent resistance as compared to series circuit.
Answer:
B = 0.157 T
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the solenoid, l = 8 cm = 0.08 m
Number of turns in the wire, N = 2000
Current, I = 5 A
We need to find the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. It is given by the formula as follows :
, N is number of turns per unit length of solenoid.
So,

So, the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.157 T.
At the instant you dropped it from your hand, its speed was zero.
The coin gained 9.8 m/s every second it fell. At the end of 1.85 sec,
just before it went 'tink' onto the ground, its speed was
(9.8 m/s) x (1.85 sec) = 18.13 m/s .
Its velocity at that final instant was 18.13 m/s downward.
