<h2>Answer:</h2>

38.14Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's solve this question using Ohm's law which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage (V) across it. Mathematically;

V =  I R       -------------------(i)

<em>Where</em>;

R is the constant of proportionality called resistance of the conductor and is measured in Ohms (Ω)

<em>From the question;</em>

V = 18.5V

I = 0.485A

<em>Substitute these  values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

18.5 = 0.485 x R

<em>Solve for R;</em>

R = 18.5 / 0.485

R = 38.14Ω

Therefore the resistance of the bulb is 38.14Ω

What is the total resistance of the circuit shown below?
mariarad [96]

Answer:36

Explanation:To analyze a series-parallel combination circuit, follow these steps: Reduce the original circuit to a single equivalent resistor, re-drawing the circuit in each step of reduction as simple series and simple parallel parts are reduced to single, equivalent resistors. Solve for total resistance.

A gas bottle contains 0.250 mol of gas at 730 mm hg pressure. if the final pressure is 1.15 atm, how many moles of gas were adde
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: 0.049 mol



Explanation:



1) Data:


n₁ = 0.250 mol

p₁ = 730 mmHg

p₂ = 1.15 atm

n₂ - n₁ = ?


2) Assumptions:


i) ideal gas equation: pV = nRT


ii) V and T constants.


3) Solution:


i) Since the temperature and the volume must be assumed constant, you can simplify the ideal gas equation into:


pV = nRT ⇒ p/n = RT/V ⇒ p/n = constant.


ii) Then p₁ / n₁ = p₂ / n₂


⇒ n₂ = p₂ n₁ / p₁


iii) n₂ = 1.15atm × 760 mmHg/atm × 0.250 mol / 730mmHg = 0.299 mol


iv) n₂ - n₁ = 0.299 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.049 mol

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

Which requires more work, lifting a 10.0kg load a vertical distance of 2m or lifting a 5.0kg load a distance of 4m?
Minchanka [31]

For each load,  Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance .

Bigger load:      Work = (10 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 196 joules .

Smaller load:    Work = (5 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)  x  (4 m) = 196 joules.

The work required is equal in both cases.

The mass ratio of  2:1  is exactly balanced by
the height ratio of  1:2 .
