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

Why are units of measurement useful?

Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The temperature of the metal is $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the metal is $M = 60 \ kg$

The specific heat of the metal is $c_p = 0.1027 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)$

The mass of the oil is $M_o = 810 \ kg$

The temperature of the oil is $T_o = 35^oC$

The specific heat of oil is $c_o = 0.7167 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC )$

The equilibrium temperature is $T_e = 39 ^oC$

According to the law of energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by the oil

The quantity of heat lost by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = - Mc_p \Delta T$

=> $Q = -Mc_p (T_m - T_c)$

Where $T_ m$ the temperature of metal before immersion

The negative sign show heat lost

The quantity of gained t by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = M_o c_o \Delta T$

=> $Q = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

$Mc_p (T_m - T_c) = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

substituting values

$- 60 * 0.1027 (T_m - 39) = 810 * 0.7167 * (39 - 35)$

=> $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, describes the motion of a body at one particular moment in time. Acceleration is a vector which shows the direction and magnitude of changes in velocity. Its standard units are meters per second per second, or meters per second squared. (this is for number 3)
