A  lightbulb carries more current immediately after it is turned on and the glow of the metal filament is increasing; option A.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

Current refers to the flow of electric charges typically electrons.

Current flowing through a metallic material decreases with increase in temperature of the material.

This is because the resistance of the metal increases with increase in temperature.

Therefore, for a light bulb, the current flow through it will be maximum when it is just turned on because the temperature, and hence the resistance of the  filament is at its lowest.

In conclusion, current flow decreases with increase in resistance.

A woman steps in front of a child to keep him from running off. which term best describes this example? negative work positive w
lana [24]

Answer:

negative force

Explanation:

Here woman is applying the force to stop the child or to prevent him from running.

Here we know that the force applied by the woman is opposite to the motion of child but here the child is not displaced by this applied force but the child is only prevented his running.

So here the work done by the woman is zero as there is no displacement by this force.

But here we can say that the the force of woman is against the motion of child so here this force is opposite force and hence it is termed as negative force here.

so correct answer will be

negative force

No. It is D. Science is actually testable. That is the purpose of the scientific method: to TEST a theory. For something to be considered science, you must be able to observe, ask questions, develop questions, and test them. Thefore, it is a process. Lastly, yes. Science is a body of knowledge. It's a subject field that covers many things and numerous sub areas.

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.
