How does the brightness of a bulb tell you about the energy of electrons passing through it?

1 answer:

8 0

The brightness of the bulb doesn't tell you anything about the energy of the
electrons passing through it.

It tells you how much total energy is lost by the total flow of electrons through
the bulb. You can't tell what part of that is due to a large or small number of
electrons, or what part of it is due to each electron losing a large or small amount
of energy on the way through.

What component of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave?

anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

There are two components of a longitudinal sound wave which are compression and rarefaction. Similarly, there are two components of the transverse wave, the crest, and trough.

The crest of a wave is defined as the part that has a maximum value of displacement while the trough is defined as the part which corresponds to minimum displacement.

While compression is that space where the particles are close together while the rarefaction is that space where the particles are far apart from each other.

So, the refraction or the rarefied part of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave.

Determine the gravitational field 300km above the surface of the earth. How does this compare to the field on the earth's surfac

Serjik [45]

The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
$r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m$

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2} = 8.95 m/s^2$

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is $g_s = 9.81 m/s^2$ .

A plane leaves Seattle, flies 76.0 mi at 22.0 ∘ north of east, and then changes direction to 51.0 ∘ south of east. After flying

mote1985 [20]

This can be solve by using a triangle, because the path of the plane formed a triangle. first solve the angle form by the second direction
angle = 180 - 51 - 22 = 107 degrees
then using the cosine law
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos C
c^2 = 76^2 + 123^2 - 2 ( 76) ( 123) cos ( 107)
c = 162.4 mi the crew fly to go directly to the field

The magnetic field a distance 2 cm from a long straight current-carrying wire is 2 × 10–5 t. the current in the wire is:

Sliva [168]

Current in the wire = 2 A

Explanation:

the magnetic field is given by

B= \frac{\mu i}{2\pi r}

μo= 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A

i= current

r=0.02 m

B = magnetic field= 2 x 10⁻⁵ T

2 x 10⁻⁵= (4π x 10⁻⁷)(i) / (2π*0.02)

i=2 A
