Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit  such that

P=VI=V^2/R

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

Current2=\frac{V}{2R}

Power2=Voltage * Current2

Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2

TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}

The weight of an apple at 4r from earth is of that on earth
iris [78.8K]
W = m.g = weight
g = Gme/Re**2 where G= universal gravitational constant , Re= radius of the earth
me= mass of the earth
therefore it weighs 16 times less

*URGENT* Why is understanding motion so important? Be sure to explain in your own words.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Motion is one of the important issues of Physics. We know that if we are not moving but still earth is moving. Motion is a bit of the machinist's Department of Physics. Several laws are provided for explaining the theory of motion and evolution in motion. The motion and transformation are defined in terms of strength which is wanted for creating an object in a motion state.

Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by. What best describes the pitch that Juan hears?
ozzi

Answer: The correct answer is "the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan".

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an increase or decrease in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and listener.

Pitch depends on the frequency. if the frequency increases then pitch increases.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then there is increase in the frequency. When the source and the listener are moving away each other then there is decrease in the frequency.

In the given problem, Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan.
