I thought you were going to ask for the resistance of the unknown
series resistor.  Since you only want the equivalent resistance of the
circuit, you don't even need to know the resistance of the lamp.

I = E / R

Current through the circuit = (voltage of the battery) / (circuit resistance).
  
                                                  0.5 = (12) / R

Multiply each side by  'R' :    (0.5) R = 12

Multiply each side by  2 :      <em>R = 24 ohms</em>


(Since the resistance of the lamp is 10 ohms, the
unknown series resistor is the other 14 ohms.)

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

0.69 ohm

Explanation:

Heat generated per second, H = 50 cal/s

Potential difference, V = 12 V

Let R is the resistance of coil.

The formula for the heat is given by

H = \frac{V^{2}}{R}t

50\times 4.186 = \frac{12^{2}}{R}\times 1

R = 0.69 ohm

If a car is traveling at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour, how long does it take to travel 12 kilometers?
Otrada [13]

Answer: 0.2 hour

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Time = Distance / Speed

= 12/60

= 0.2 hour

a bus is moving at 22m/s [E] for 12s. Then the bus driver slows down at 1.2m/s2 [W] until the bus stops. Determine the total dis
KatRina [158]
The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:

d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m

For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²

Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m

Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m +  201.67 m = 465.67 or  approximately 4.7×10² m.

A train travels 79 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 77 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?
koban [17]
Average speed=total distance traveled/time. Total distance=the sum of the two short distances=79*2+77*3=389 km. Total time used to travel is 2+3=5 hr. Average speed is 389/5=77.8 km/hr.
