A string of 18 identical holiday tree lights is connected inseries to a 190V source. The string dissipates 62.0 W. One of thebul

bs burns out. The lamp has a wire that shorts out the lampfilament when it burns out. This drops the resistance of the lampto zero.(a) What is the resistance of the light string now?(b) Find the power dissipated by the string.(c) Did the power go up or down when a bulb burned out?

Answer:

549.9 ohms, 65.65 watts, the power went up

Explanation:  power P = V²/R

v= 190volts , P =62watts

from P =V²/R

62=190²/R

making R the subject

R×62= 190²

62R =36100

R=36100/62

R=586.25 ohms

Resistance of each lamp = 586.26/18 =32.3ohms

a) resistance of the light string now = 17×32.3 = 549.9 ohms

b) P=V²/R

where R=549.9ohms , P=?

P=190²/549.9

P=36100/549.9

P=65.65watts

Power dissipated has increased( went up )

A wall with a surface area of 10 m2 is 2.5 cm thick. The inner surface temperature of the wall is 4150C, but the outer surface i
klio [65]

Answer:

650.65 K or 377.5°C

Explanation:

Area = A = 10 m²

Thickness of wall = L = 2.5 cm = 2.5×10⁻² m

Inner surface temperature of wall = T_i = 415°C = 688.15 K

Outer surface temperature of wall = T_o

Heat loss through the wall = 3 kW = 3×10³ W

Thermal conductivity of wall = k = 0.2 W/m K

Assumptions made here as follows

  1. There is not heat generation in the wall itself
  2. The heat conduction is one dimensional
  3. Heat flow follows steady state
  4. The material has same properties in all directions i.e., it is homogeneous.

Considering the above assumptions we use the following formula

Q=\frac {T_i-T_o}{\frac{L}{kA}}\\\Rightarrow T_o=T_i-\frac {QL}{kA}\\\Rightarrow T_o=688.15-\frac {3\times 10^{3}\times 2.5\times 10^{-2}}{0.2\times 10}\\\Rightarrow T_o=650.65~K

∴ The temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 650.65 K or 377.5°C

How does a gas do work?
Triss [41]
Your answer would be C, "By conserving energy"! A gas can do work through something called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat that energy used by the gas during this "work" cannot be created or destroyed however it can be transferred and converted. This energy can only be stored during these processes, not removed. An example of this would be gas in a cylindrical object such as a piston. When the gas is heated, it expands and moves the piston upwards. When it expands, it stores that energy it gains through the heat given.

I hope this helps! (:

kompoz [17]

Answer:

The bus moved after our girl Sandy passed out = S = 905.04 m

Explanation:

At  t = 0 sec              Vi = 80mph = 35.76 m/s

    t = 30 sec             Vf = 55mph = 24.58 m/s

According to the first equation of motion

                   <u>Vf = Vi + at</u>

        24.587 = 35.76 + a(30)

        a  =  - 0.373 m/s2 (negative sign shows deceleration)

 Now for distance travelled in 30 sec we have

second equation of motion

                <u>  S=Vit+1/2at2</u>

        S = 35.76 x 30 + 1/2 x -0.373 x 30 x 30

         S = 905.04 m
