An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.
On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.
Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Answer:
C) It will accelerate.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.
An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.
A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.
B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.
d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.
Answer:
2.00 moles of Ni has 1.2 *10^24 atoms
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Number of moles Ni = 2.00 moles
Number of Avogadro = 6.022*10^23 /mol
Step 2: Calculate number of atoms
Number of particles (=atoms) = Number of Avogadro * number of moles
Number of atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 /mol * 2.00 moles
Number of atoms = 1.2*10^24 atoms
2.00 moles of Ni has 1.2 *10^24 atoms
Answer:
It will be denatured.
Explanation:
Salivary amylase works best at pH 6.8.
At pH 2.5, its activity will decrease enormously as it becomes denatured by the high acidity of the stomach contents.
