A 20 ohm and 60 ohm light bulb are put in series together which one would be brighter?

Answer:

The 60 Ohm bulb would be brighter than the 20 Ohm bulb.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Ohm's Law: V=IR where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance

Power equation: P=VR

The greater the power of a bulb, the brighter it is.

The bulbs are connected in series, meaning the the current travelling through each will be the same. Plug Ohm's law into the power equation so we just have I and R:

P=I^2R

Because the current stays the same, the bulb with greater resistance will have greater power, hence being brighter. Therefore, the 60 Ohm bulb would be brighter than the 20 Ohm bulb.

I hope this helps!

Which argument(s) for the increasing use of solar energy is/are valid? I. Solar cells are becoming cheaper and increasingly more
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct one is (III)

Explanation: Limited and uncertain supply and the increasing requirements for pollution control are raising the cost of using fossil fuels.

This is because fossil fuels emit green house gases that are causing global warming. As a result more awareness have been drawn towards the harmful use of fossil fuels, and international bodies are starting to form regulations on the use of fossil fuels. These above reasons has made fossil fuels though abundant, very expensive to use.

This make the usage of greener sources of energy like solar energy desirable. The only challenge solar is facing is on the area of efficiency, but scientists are constantly researching to make it more efficient.

A student does an experiment with a pendulum. in the first trial, she displaces the pendulum 5 cm. In the second trial, she disp
lianna [129]
Well, there are different ways you can represent the motion
of the pendulum on a graph.  For example, the graph could
show the pendulum's displacement, total distance, position,
speed, velocity, or acceleration against time.  Your question
doesn't specify which quantity the graphs show, so it's pretty
tough to describe their similarities and differences, since these
could be different depending on the quantity being graphed. 

I have decided to make it simple, and assume that the graph shows
the distance away from the center against time, with positive and
negative values to represent whether its position is to the left or right
of the center.  And now I shall proceed to answer the question that
I just invented.

In both cases, the graph would be a "sine" wave.  That is, it would be
the graph of the equation 

Y = A · sin(B · time) .

' A ' is the amplitude of the wave.

' B ' is some number that depends on the frequency of the swing . . .
how often the pendulum completes one full swing.

The two graphs would have different amplitudes, so the number 'A'
would be different.  It would be 5 for the first graph and 10 on the 2nd one.

But the number 'B' would be the same for both graphs, because 
when she pulled it farther and let it go, it would make bigger swings,
but they would not happen any faster or slower than the small swings.

In the space of, say one minute, the pendulum would make the same
number of swings both times.  That number would only depend on the
length of the string, but not on how far you pull it sideways before you
let it go.

Changes in behavior of managers, coworkers, and subordinates can be a warning sign before a layoff. True or false
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - true.

Explanation:

Changes in the higher authorities or managers or coworkers can be a warning sign before a layoff, however, a company or organization needs to give an official notice before a particular time period before the layoff.

The layoff is a temporary suspension or permanent termination from the employment of an employee due to reasons related to business such as reducing manpower or staff and less work in the organization. These reasons can lead to a change in the behavior of the managers, coworkers, and subordinates.
