Answer from: realoneree

the current flowing in each is the same.

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, they are connected in the same branch of the circuit - this means that the same current flows through each resistor.

The other options listed are wrong because:

the same power is dissipated in each one --> false: the power dissipated in each resistor is P=I^2 R , where I is the current and R the resistance, so it depends on the value of the resistance

the potential difference across each is the same.-- > false: this is true in parallel circuits, not series circuits

the equivalent resistance of the circuit is less than that of the smallest resistor.--> false: the equivalent resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances: R = R_1 + R_2 + ... , so it is larger than the resistance of the smallest resistance

the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the average of all the resistances. --> false: the equivalent resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances: R = R_1 + R_2 + ... , not the average

Answer from: Quest

Is a vector quantity that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.

Aball tossed vertically upward from the ground next to a building passes the bottom of a window 1.8 s after being tossed and passes the top of the window 0.20 s later. the window is 2.0 m high from top to bottom. what was the ball's initial velocity? the unit vector j^ is directed upward. how far is the bottom of the window from the launch position? how high does the ball rise above the launch position?
