To connect a pair of resistors so their equivalent resistance (the single resistor having their combined value) will be least, connect them in

Ideally, a ball is thrown up at an angle and lands downrange. Because of air resistance, the distance reached is

A 100-W lamp glows brighter than a 25-W lamp. The electrical resistance of the 100-W lamp is

Connect a pair of lamps in series and current is drawn from the battery. Connect the same lamps in parallel and the current drawn is

It takes Neptune a longer time to orbit the Sun than Earth does because Neptune

A pendulum clock at high altitudes runs

Two life preservers have identical volumes, one filled with Styrofoam and the other filled with sand. When the two life preservers are worn by swimmers, one swimmer floats with part of the preserver above water, and the other swimmer sinks. In this case the buoyant force is greater on the life preserver filled with
