Considering the Ohm's law, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

<h3>Definition of current</h3>

The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current (I). Its unit of measure is amps (A). So the current is a measure of the speed at which the charge passes a given reference point in a specified direction.

<h3>Definition of voltage</h3>

The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as voltage and is measured in volts (V) (voltage can also be referred to as the potential difference or electromotive force). That is, voltage is a measure of the work required to move a charge from one point to another.

<h3>Definition of resistance</h3>

Resistance (R) is the difficulty that a circuit opposes to the flow of a current and it is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Ohm's law</h3>

Ohm's law establishes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

This law establishes that the intensity of the current that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the same and inversely proportional to the resistance that it presents.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where:

  • I is the current measured in amps (A).
  • V the voltage measured in volts (V).
  • R the resistance that is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Resistance of the lightbulb</h3>

In this case, you know that the voltage between two points in a circuit is 120 V and there is a current of 0.83 A.

Replacing in the Ohm's Law:

0.83A=\frac{120 V}{R}

Solving:

0.83 A× R=  120 V

R=\frac{120 V}{0.83A}

<u><em>R= 144.58 Ω</em></u>

Finally, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

Answer:

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards.

The pressure at a depth in a fluid of constant density is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere plus the pressure due to the weight of the fluid, or p = p 0 + ρ h g , p = p 0 + ρ h g , 14.4

Explain why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not. (Be sur
Firlakuza [10]

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.

So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.
