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.

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em> 3980.89 ohms</em>

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = 40 * 10^{-6}F

Substitute into the formula:

X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c =  \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89

<em>Hence the  total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms</em>

How many air molecules are in a 13.0×12.0×10.0 ft room (28.2 L=1 ft3)? Assume atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm, a room temperatu
aksik [14]

Answer:

1963.93 Moles

Explanation:

-We know the standard conversion ratio for the volume of a mole is 1 Mole=22.4L

Given volume of rooms as 13.0ft\times12.0ft\times10ft=1560 ft^3

Convert the volume into liters:1560\times28.2l=43992l

#From our conversion ratio above, we get the volume of air molecules in moles as:

V_m=\frac{43992L}{22.4L}\times 1\ mole\\\\=1963.93\ Moles

Hence, the volume of air molecules is 1963.93 Moles

Determine the acceleration due to gravity?
MissTica
That's a weird graph, but judging from the units the acceleration is the slope of the graph.

a = (0.8 - 0.3)/(0.16 - 0.055) = 4.76 m/s²
