A simple circuit consists of a light bulb connected to the terminals of a battery. A voltmeter shows a potential difference of 1

8.5 V across the light bulb, whereas an ammeter registers a current of 0.485 A in the circuit. Determine the resistance of the bulb.

<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

Which phrase best describes sir isaac newton's contributions to modern science and therefore to the industrial revolution?
astraxan [27]
Can you please give the phrases? 

But, I'll help what I can.

First, he was the first to discover gravity. He was not bonked by the head by an apple, rather he watched an apple fall from a tree before he decided to explore gravity further. 

He was also the first scientist to be knighted, which is a great honor, as you can expect. 

Newton also developed The Three Laws of Motion. They are extremely important to physics and are considered some of the foundation for physics today. 

He also discovered calculus, which is complex math that is very helpful to scientists today. 

He also discovered the color spectrum using a glass prism, a dark room and window shade with a hole in it. He was able to project the color spectrum onto a piece of paper.

Those are the few I can think of now, but hope it helps!

In Trial III, a different, looser, spring is used; its force constant is 23.1 N/m. The suspended mass is the same as the one in
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

T=0.827s

Explanation:

The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

T=2\pi w

But we know as well that w is given by,

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Replacing,

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.4}{23.1}}

So we have that

T=0.827s

Given a force of 100 N and acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

20 kg

Explanation:

remember the equation f=ma.

100 N=force

5 m/s2= acceleration

so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.
