Explanation:
Given that,
Two resistors 4.5 Ω and 2.3 Ω .
Potential difference = 30 V
When they are in series, the current through each resistor remains the same. First find the equivalent resistance.
R' = 4.5 + 2.3
= 6.8 Ω
Current,

So, the current through both lightbulb is the same i.e. 4.41 A.
When they are in parallel, the current divides.
Current flowing in 4.5 resistor,

Current flowing in 2.3 ohm resistor,

In parallel combination, are brighter than bulbs in series.
Answer: 0.24g/ml
Explanation:
Given that:
Volume of water displaced = 23.5 ml
Mass of cork = 5.7 g
Density of the cork = ?
Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by the volume of water displaced.
i.e Density = Mass/volume
Density = 5.7g /23.5ml
Density = 0.24g/ml
Thus, the density of the piece of cork is 0.24g/ml
It is formed from mantle material
It decreases because it gave its momentum to the other car.
