Suppose you have three identical lightbulbs, some wire, and a battery. You connect one lightbulb to the battery and take note of its brightness. You add a second lightbulb, connecting it in parallel with the previous lightbulbs, and again take note of the brightness. Repeat the process with the third lightbulb, connecting it in parallel with the other two. As the lightbulbs are added, the power
delivered by the battery (neglect the battery’s internal resistance) 1.increases. 2.decreases. 3.remains the same. 4.Need more information.
A catapult is tested by Roman legionnaires. They tabulate the results in a papyrus and 2000 years later the archaeological team reads (distances translated into modern units): Range = 0.20 km; angle of launch = ?/4; landing height = launch height
What is the initial velocity of launch of the boulders if air resistance is negligible? A) 44 m/s B) 1.4 m/s C) 22 m/s D) 0.69 m/s
