Answer:

Explanation:

Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage

P = IV

From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;

P = IV

P =(V/R)V

P = V²/R

Given parameters

Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

100 = 110²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

<em>Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms</em>

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

$Q=cm\Delta T$ (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and $\Delta T$ the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}$

Sample B:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}$

Sample C:

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}$

$\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}$

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression $-\frac{Q}{cm}$ that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of $\Delta T$ implies the temperature is dropping)
