Answer:

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent

Explanation:

Fluorescent lamps have a number of advantages over incandescent lamps which are given in the options given in A, C and D. The option available in B is a drawback, not an advantage. This is because it can give out and radiate more heat as a result of working at a higher temperature. Hence B option is correct.

8. Contrast. The energy that can be released during a nuclear fission reaction with the energy that can be released during a nuc
Cloud [144]
8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission.  Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together.  It's really the nucleus of a helium atom.  It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons.  They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light)  They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue.  They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c².  This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared.  c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it.  Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests)  The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms.  When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion).  High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma.  This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse.  Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.

The voltage across the terminals of a 9.0 v battery is 8.5 v when the battery is connected to a 60 ω load. part a what is the ba
snow_lady [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

i = the current in the circuit., A
R₁ = the internal resistance of the battery, Ω
R₂ = the resistance of the 60 W load, Ω

Because the resistance across the battery is 8.5 V instead of 9.0 V, therefore
(R₁ )(i A) = 9 - 8.5 = (0.5 V)
R₁*i = 0.5         (10

Also,
R₂*i = 9.5         (2)

Because the power dissipated by R₂ is 60 W, therefore
i²R₂ = 60
From (2), obtain
i*9.5 = 60
i = 6.3158 A

From (1), obtain
6.3158*R₁ = 0.5
R₁ = 0.5/6.3158 = 0.0792 Ω = 0.08 Ω (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.08 Ω

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two
lesya [120]

Answer:

Power  = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

\beta (dB)= 10 \  log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

the threshold of hearing   I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)

\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})

10^{10.2} =  \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power  = 124.50 W

D=1/2at^2 <br> solve for a
nignag [31]

Answer:

a = 2d / t²

Explanation:

d = ½ at²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2d = at²

Divide both sides by t²:

a = 2d / t²

A 4.0kg block is sliding with a constant velocity of 3.0m/s on a frictionless table that is 0.5m high. If all of the block’s ene
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

E_{M}=E_{p}  + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]
