Explanation:

It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.

        You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.

PtichkaEL [24]

The light bulb would glow brighter.

<h3>What is Resistance?</h3>

a force that works against a body's direction of motion and seeks to stop or slow down motion, such as friction. a measure of how much a material prevents an electric current from flowing as a result of a voltage.

What is the law of resistance?

Resistance and Ohm's Law. According to Ohm's law, the resistance of the circuit and the current or energy travelling through the resistance are both exactly proportional to the voltage or potential difference between two places.

The current would grow since it is exactly proportionate to the voltage, increasing the light bulb's brilliance, or simply making it brighter.

Most motorcycles could win a drag race against most cars. Use<br>Newton's 2nd law to explain this.​
shutvik [7]

Answer:

is has be deducted that acceleration of an object depends only on the the mass of the object. car has a greater mass that a motorcycle.

Explanation:

the newton second law states that when a net force act on an object,the object accelerates in the direction of the net force. the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely to the mass.

mathematically, F = ma    .......................... (eqn 1)

where, F = force, m=mass and  a = acceleration

F = m(ΔV/t)    .......................... (eqn 2)

acceleration =change in velocity divide time

t = time

v= velocity

Ft = mΔV

also a∝1/m

this same second can also mean the rate of change in momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force.

Drag race is a function of acceleration, therefore, a car weighs more than a motorcycle.

the reason while motorcycle moves more faster than a car is due to the weight of the motorcycle as compare to the car. if the same acceleration is applied, and there weigth are difference, this will affect the force (causing an increased resultant force for the car), whereas time used will be affected.

for example:

a motorcycle has a weight 0f 181kg

a car has a weight 0f 1590kg

from  a∝1/m

they both will moves at a different acceleration

the force will be different

Ft = mΔV

Three resistors, each having a resistance, R, are connected in parallel to a 1.50 V battery. If the resistors dissipate a total
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

voltage across the three resistor, V = 1.5 V

power dissipated by the resistors, P = 3.00 W

the resistance of each resistor, = R

The effective resistance of the three resistors is given by;

R(effective) = R/3

Apply ohms law to determine the current delivered by the source;

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 3V/R

Also, power is calculated as;

P = IV

P = (3V/R) x V

P = 3V²/R

R = 3V² / P

R = (3 x 1.5²) / 3

R = 2.25 Ω

Therefore, the value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω
