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.)

If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the
erastova [34]

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

Which of the following statements is correct?
Mumz [18]

Answer: c. Generally, metals are ductile.

Explanation:

From the options given in the question, the correct statement is that"Generally, metals are ductile.

Ductility of a metal simply means that a metal can be plastically deform before it is then fractured. It implies that metals can be drawn to thin wires. The only exception we have in this case is mercury.

A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

Q=+757 kJ

\Delta U = +176 kJ

Therefore the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
