A 60w bulb has a higher resistance than a 100w bulb, since the power rating is given assuming that the bulb is connected to a 12

0v source by itself. If you connect a 60w bulb and a 100w bulb in series to an outlet, which will shine brighter?.

Voltage drop across any components in series is proportional to its resistance. 60W bulb has higher resistance than 100W bulb if both the bulbs were rated for same voltage. So higher voltage drop will be across a 60W bulb.

In parallel voltage drops will be same across both the bulbs but current through it will be inversely proportional to the resistance. So 100W bulb draws more current than 60W bulbs.

60W dissipates more energy than 100W bulbs when in series and 100W bulbs dissipates more energy when in parallel.

A Hooke's law spring is mounted horizontally over a frictionless surface. The spring is then compressed a distance d and is used
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The compression is \sqrt{2} \  d.

Explanation:

A Hooke's law spring compressed has a potential energy

E_{potential} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2

where k is the spring constant and \Delta x the distance to the equilibrium position.

A mass m moving at speed v has a kinetic energy

E_{kinetic} = \frac{1}{2} m v^2.

So, in the first part of the problem, the spring is compressed a distance d, and then launch the mass at velocity v_1. Knowing that the energy is constant.

\frac{1}{2} m v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2} k d^2

If we want to double the kinetic energy, then, the knew kinetic energy for a obtained by compressing the spring a distance D, implies:

2 * (\frac{1}{2} m v_1^2) = \frac{1}{2} k D^2

But, in the left side we can use the previous equation to obtain:

2 * (\frac{1}{2} k d^2) = \frac{1}{2} k D^2

D^2 =  \frac{2 \ (\frac{1}{2} k d^2)}{\frac{1}{2} k}

D^2 =  2 \  d^2

D =  \sqrt{2 \  d^2}

D =  \sqrt{2} \  d

And this is the compression we are looking for

15 if an object gains_ it has an electrical charge
Papessa [141]

Answer:

15. electrons

16. electrometer

18. Transformers

24. Power

Explanation:

  1. The fundamental charges in nature are electrons and protons.
  2. The electrons have negative charges and protons have positive charges.
  3. The proton with similar other protons forms the nucleus of an atom. Mostly it doesn't exist freely in nature. it is not easy to knock out a proton from an atom.
  4. Whereas, the electrons were present in the outer sphere if the nucleus of an atom.Compared to a proton, It is easy to remove an electron from an atom.
  5. So, if an object gains some electrons, it acquires some charges.
  6. The amount of such charges can be measured using a device called electrometer.
  7. The flow of electrons is associated with energy. This energy is called electrical energy and it can be converted into other forms of energy.
  8. The rate at which electrical energy is converted to some other forms of energy is called electrical power.

How do you think television programs movies and car commercials influence driving behavior
AnnZ [28]

When you watch the same thing over and over (like a car commercial), then your brain begins to question morals. Like if you see a racing movie you might want to go and race. Or if you see an underage kid illegally driving, you might want to try it too.
