A string of 18 identical holiday tree lights is connected inseries to a 190V source. The string dissipates 62.0 W. One of thebulbs burns out. The lamp has a wire that shorts out the lampfilament when it burns out. This drops the resistance of the lampto zero.(a) What is the resistance of the light string now?(b) Find the power dissipated by the string.(c) Did the power go up or down when a bulb burned out?

549.9 ohms, 65.65 watts, the power went up

Explanation:  power P = V²/R

v= 190volts , P =62watts

from P =V²/R

62=190²/R

making R the subject

R×62= 190²

62R =36100

R=36100/62

R=586.25 ohms

Resistance of each lamp = 586.26/18 =32.3ohms

a) resistance of the light string now = 17×32.3 = 549.9 ohms

b) P=V²/R

where R=549.9ohms , P=?

P=190²/549.9

P=36100/549.9

P=65.65watts

Power dissipated has increased( went up )

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
