Explanation:

a. Find the current (in A) and power (in W) for each when connected in series.

Since the resistors are connected in series, their combined resistance is R = R₁ + R₂ where R₁ = 30.0 Ω and R₂ = 88.0 Ω.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

R = R₁ + R₂

R =  30.0 Ω +  88.0 Ω

R =  118.0 Ω

Since from Ohm's law, V = IR where V = voltage across circuit = battery voltage = 64.0 V, I = current in circuit and R = total resistance of circuit = 118.0 Ω

So, I = V/R = 64.0V/118.0 Ω = 0.542 A

Since the resistors are in series, the same current flows through them

i. Current in 30.0 Ω

Current in 30.0 Ω is I = 0.542 A since the resistors are in series.

ii Power in the 30.0 Ω

The power in the 30.0 Ω is P₁ = I²R₁ where I = current = 0.542 A and R₁ = resistance = 30.0 Ω

So, P₁ = I²R₁

= (0.542 A)² × 30.0 Ω

= 0.293764  A² × 30.0 Ω

= 8.8129 W

≅ 8.813 W

iii. Current in 88.0 Ω

Current in 88.0 Ω is I = 0.542 A since the resistors are in series.

iv. Power in the 88.0 Ω

The power in the 88.0 Ω is P = I²R₂ where I = current = 0.542 A and R₂ = resistance = 88.0 Ω

So, P₂ = I²R₂

= (0.542 A)² × 88.0 Ω

= 0.293764  A² × 88.0 Ω

= 25.8512 W

≅ 25.85 W

(b) Repeat when the resistances are in parallel.

Since the resistors are connected in parallel, the same voltage is applied across them.

i. Current in 30.0 Ω

Using Ohm's law, V = I₁R₁ where V = voltage = 64.0 V, I₁ = current in 30.0 Ω resistor and R₁ = resistance = 30.0 Ω

So, I₁ = V/R₁ = 64.0 V/30.0 Ω = 2.13 A

ii Power in the 30.0 Ω

The power in the 30.0 Ω resistor is P₁ = V²/R₁ where V = voltage across resistor = 64.0 V and R₁ = resistance = 30.0 Ω

So, P₁ = V²/R₁

P₁ = (64.0 V)²/30.0 Ω

P₁ = 4096 V²/30.0 Ω

P₁ = 136.53 W

iii. Current in 88.0 Ω

Using Ohm's law, V = I₂R₂ where V = voltage = 64.0 V, I₂ = current in 88.0 Ω resistor and R₂ = resistance = 88.0 Ω

So, I₂ = V/R₂ = 64.0 V/88.0 Ω = 0.727 A

iv. Power in the 88.0 Ω

The power in the 30.0 Ω resistor is P₂ = V²/R₂ where V = voltage across resistor = 64.0 V and R₂ = resistance = 88.0 Ω

So, P₂ = V²/R₂

P₂ = (64.0 V)²/88.0 Ω

P₂ = 4096 V²/88.0 Ω

P₂ = 46.55 W

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.
