Answer:

initially- with positive potential differences - the current is directly proportional to the p.d. However, as the current through the filament increases, the heating effect caused in the lamp also increases and so the temperature of the filament rises. This increase in the filament's temperature also increases the resistance of the filament. As a result the rate of increase of the current decreases and a greater change in the potential difference is required to cause a change in the current. This can be seen on the curve as the gradient becomes more shallow (greater resistance). This same pattern is repeated when a negative potential difference is applied across the filament

Which is the best insulator? metal, glass, plastic, or Styrofoam?

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Styrofoam would be the best insulator because it traps the air in small pockets, blocking the flow of heat energy.

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$d=7.115s$

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance$

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

$52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

$0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}$

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

$t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s$

A 2.93 kg particle has a velocity of (2.98 i hat - 3.98 j) m/s.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

a) The x and y components of the momentum are $8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of its momentum are approximately 14.567 kilogram-meters per second and 306.823º.

Explanation:

a) The vectorial equation of momentum is represented by the following expression:

$\vec p = m\cdot \vec v$ (1)

Where:

$\vec p$ - Vector momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

$m$ - Mass of the particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec v$ - Vector velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m = 2.93\,kg$ and $\vec v = 2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]$ , then the momentum is:

$\vec p = (2.93)\cdot (2.98\,\hat{i}-3.98\,\hat{j})\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]$

$\vec p = 8.731\,\hat{i}-11.661\,\hat{j}\,\,\,\left[\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} \right]$

The x and y components of the momentum are $8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $-11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , respectively.

b) The magnitude and direction of momentum are represented by the following expressions:

$\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{p_{x}^{2}+p_{y}^{2}}$ (2)

$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{p_{y}}{p_{x}} \right)$ (3)

Where:

$\|\vec p\|$ - Magnitude of momentum, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

$\theta$ - Direction of momentum, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that $p_{x} = 8.731\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ and $p_{y} = -11.661\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}$ , then the magnitude and direction of momentum are, respectively:
