<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span>
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
There is a variety of many types of energies. Some of which are mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, nuclear, chemical, sonic, and more.
To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:
<h3>Potential energy </h3>
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>
Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
Explanation:
A simple harmonic oscillation is an oscillator that is neither driven nor damped.
When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.
<h3>What is tension?</h3>
Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.
Volume of gold V = mass / density
V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³
Tension in the string after immersing will be
T = [ρ(Gold) -ρ(Hg)] g. V
T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶
T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.
