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

If m=120kg and a=15m/s2, what is the force
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

F= 1800N

Explanation:

the equation for force is F= ma

so plug in the numbers: F= (120)(15)

solve this to get F= 1800N

tip: don't forget to add the units when writing your answer :)

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same

While looking at bacteria under a microscope you decide to take a break when u return the amount of bacteria has doubled in size
VikaD [51]
Your break probably only took 20-30 minutes. Bacteria can double every 20-30 minutes. Hope this helped!
