A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 26 Ω when cold and 170 Ω when hot. If the equation R = R0 [1 +

α ∆T] can be used over the large temperature range involved here, find the temperature of the filament when it is hot. Assume that α , the temperature coefficient of resistivity of tungsten, is 0.0045 (◦C)−1 and that the temperature of the cold filament is 40◦C. Answer in units of ◦C

Answer:

Explanation: The equation that relates resistance of tungsten at different temperatures is as follows

R = R₀ [1 + α ∆T]  , R₀ is resistance at lower temperature , R is resistance at higher temperature . α is temperature coefficient of resistivity and ∆T is rise in temperature .

Putting the values

170 = 26 [1 + .0045 ∆T]

∆T = 1230.75

lower temperature = 40◦C

higher temperature = 1230 + 40

= 1270◦C

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
