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 block lies on a plane raised an angle θ from the horizontal. Three forces act upon the block: F⃗ w, the force of gravity; F⃗ n
Verdich [7]

Answer:

YFy = 0 = Ffsinθ + Fncosθ - Fw

Explanation:

From the base of the vector Fn, draw a vertical line. the small angle between this line and Fn is also theta. The component of Fn in the vertical direction is Fncos(theta).

Take a moment to picture extreme cases. Sine is 0 at 0 and 1 at 90. Cosine is 1 at 0 and 0 at 90.

Suppose two point charges, Q1 = -6.25 x 10-9 C and Q2 = -6.25 x 10-9 C, are separated by a distance d = 0.617 m.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A) F =  9.23 x 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

Data

q₁ = -6.25 x 10⁻⁹ C

q₂ = -6.25 x 10⁻⁹ C

d = 0.617 m

k = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

F = ?

Formula

              F = k q₁q₂ /r²

-Substitution

              F = (9 x 10⁹)(-6.25 x 10⁻⁹)(-6.25 x 10⁻⁹) / (0.617)²

-Simplification

              F = 3.512 x 10⁻⁷ / 0.381

-Result

              F = 9.227 x 10⁻⁷ N  ≈ 9.23 x 10⁻⁷ N

A container of gas molecules is at a pressure of 2 atm and has amass density of 1.7 grams per liter. All of the molecules in the
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure = 2 atm

Density = 1.7 grams/liter

Atomic weight = 28 grams

We need to calculate the temperature

Using formula of idea gas

PV=nRT

P=\dfrac{WRT}{VM}

P=\dfrac{\rho RT}{M}

T=\dfrac{PM}{\rho R}

Put the value into the formula

T=\dfrac{2\times28}{1.7\times0.0821}

T=401.2\ K

We need to calculate the speed of nitrogen molecule

Using formula of RMS speed

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times0.0821\times401.2}{28}}

V_{rms}=1.87\ m/s

Hence, The speed of nitrogen molecule is 1.87 m/s.
