A few different ways to do this:
Way #1:
The current in the series loop is (12 V) / (total resistance) .
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)
In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.
The power dissipated by a resistor is (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power. That's R1 .
And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power. It's dissipating it.
Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is
(voltage across the resistance)² / (resistance) .
In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is
[ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.
So the power dissipated by each resistor is
(individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]
This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .
Way #3: (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.
===> When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).
Answer:
the ball will go up 3s and down 3s
v=gt
where t=3s and g=9.8m/s^2

Image result for position (m) 80 60 40 20 - 20 -40 10 20 30 40 50 time (sec) What is the displacement from 15 to 40 sec? a 20 m b Оооо - 20 m -100 m с 100 m
The average velocity of the object is multiplied by the time traveled to find the displacement. The equation x = ½( v + u)t can be manipulated, as shown below, to find any one of the four values if the other three are known.
Explanation:
An ideal air-filled parallel plate capacitor with plate a separation of 4.0 cm has a plate area of 0.040 m2. what is the capacitance of this capacitor with air between these plates<u> 8.9 pF.</u>
An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plates and carries a fixed amount of equal but opposite charge on its plates.
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor depends on area of each plate, dielectric medium between the plates and distance between the plates.
The amount of energy stored in a plate capacitor is given by
