Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

Two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source of EMF = 8.0V with a negligible internal resistance. One bulb has a resistan

Sonja [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.18Ω

(b) 3.18Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let the two bulbs be A and B

Given;

$R_{A}$ = Resistance in bulb A = 3.0Ω

$R_{B}$ = Resistance in bulb B = 2.5Ω

Since the two bulbs are connected in parallel;

i. their effective resistance ( $R_{X}$ ) is given by

$\frac{1}{R_{X}}$ = $\frac{1}{R_{A} }$ + $\frac{1}{R_{B} }$ ---------------(i)

Substitute the values of $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ into equation (i)

=> $\frac{1}{R_{X}}$ = $\frac{1}{3.0}$ + $\frac{1}{2.5}$

Solve for $R_{X}$

$R_{X}$ = 1.36Ω

ii. voltage (potential difference), V, across them is the same;

Therefore we can get the total current (I) that will flow through them if the voltage to be supplied is 2.4V.

Use the Ohm's law;

V = I x R -----------------(ii)

Where;

V = voltage across them = 2.4V

I = total current flowing through them

R = their effective resistance = $R_{X}$ = 1.36Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

2.4 = I x 1.36

I = 2.4 / 1.36

I = 1.76A

(a) Now get the value of R

Since the voltage across the two bulbs is 2.4V out of the 8.0V supplied by the source, then the remaining (8.0 - 2.4 = 5.6)V will pass across the resistor R.

Also, since the two bulbs make a series connection with the resistor R, the same total current (I = 1.76A) that flows through these bulbs will flow through the resistor R.

Therefore, to get the value of R, we use the relation

V = I x R ------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = voltage across the resistor = 5.6V

I = current through the resistor = 1.76A

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii)</em>

=> 5.6 = 1.76 x R

=> R = 5.6 / 1.76

=> R = 3.18Ω

Therefore, the value of R to be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4V is 3.18Ω

(b) The potential difference and voltage across refer to the same thing. Therefore, the value of R that would make the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4V is the same as the one calculated in (a) which is 3.18Ω

If the mass of a material is 99 grams and the volume of the material is 22 cm3, what would the density of the material be?

Kazeer [188]

You are asked to give the answer in <span>g/cm3. So without knowing any single formulae you can just divide grams by cm3.

</span> $\frac{99 grams}{22 cm^{3} }$

= 4.5 g/cm3

A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Does this statement describ

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.
