Determine the length of the tungsten filament in a 100 watt lightbulb given: (i) the resistivity of tungsten is 5.6 × 10−8 Ω · m

, (ii) the filament diameter is 0.0018 inches, and (iii) that the filament temperature is about 2550°C when it is "on". Show your work. How is possible to use this length filament in the bulb? Explain! Hint: Assume a ambient temperature of 25°C and an operating voltage of 120Vrms (more on this later!), and you will have to look up the temperature coefficient of tungsten to complete the calculations.

Answer:

0.34148 m

Explanation:

\rho = Resistivity of tungsten = 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega m

d = Diameter = 0.0018 inch

r = Radius = \dfrac{r}{2}=\dfrac{0.0018}{2}=0.0009\ in

r=0.0009\times 0.0254=0.00002286\ m

\alpha = Temperature coefficient of tungsten = 0.0045 /^{\circ}C

Power is given by

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{120^2}{100}\\\Rightarrow R=144\ \Omega

We have the equation

R_2=R_1[1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)]\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{R_2}{1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{144}{1+0.0045(2550-25)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=11.64812\ \Omega

Resistance is given by

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{11.64812\times \pi (0.00002286)^2}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l=0.34148\ m

The length of the filament is 0.34148 m

Why do electrons flow threw a wire
Zolol [24]

Answer:

When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side.

1. What is the name given to the total possibility of sound frequencies
exis [7]

Explanation:

1. The entire span of possible sound waves is called the acoustic spectrum. It is subdivided into infrasonic sounds, audible sounds, and ultrasonic sounds.

2. The difference between a musical note and another note at twice the frequency is called an octave.

3. Sound intensity varies with the inverse square of distance.

The distance between planets varies as they move in their orbits. The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 0.35 AU.
Alina [70]

Answer:

52,360,000km

Explanation:

To solve this problem you use a conversion factor.

By taking into account that 1UA = 1.496*10^{8}km you obtain:

0.35UA*\frac{1.496*10^{8}km}{1UA}=52,360,000km

hence, 0.35UA is about 52,360,000km. This is the least distance between Mars and Earth

A spring of constant 20 N/m has compressed a distance 8 m by a(n) 0.3 kg mass, then released. It skids over a frictional surface
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

X_2=25.27m

Explanation:

Here we will call:

1. E_1: The energy when the first spring is compress

2. E_2: The energy after the mass is liberated by the spring

3. E_3: The energy before the second string catch the mass

4. E_4: The energy when the second sping compressed

so, the law of the conservations of energy says that:

1. E_1 = E_2

2. E_2 -E_3= W_f

3.E_3 = E_4

where W_f is the work of the friction.

1. equation 1 is equal to:

\frac{1}{2}Kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}MV_2^2

where K is the constant of the spring, x is the distance compressed, M is the mass and V_2 the velocity, so:

\frac{1}{2}(20)(8)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.3)V_2^2

Solving for velocity, we get:

V_2 = 65.319 m/s

2. Now, equation 2 is equal to:

\frac{1}{2}MV_2^2-\frac{1}{2}MV_3^2 = U_kNd

where M is the mass, V_2 the velocity in the situation 2, V_3 is the velocity in the situation 3, U_k is the coefficient of the friction, N the normal force and d the distance, so:

\frac{1}{2}(0.3)(65.319)^2-\frac{1}{2}(0.3)V_3^2 = (0.16)(0.3*9.8)(2)

Volving for V_3, we get:

V_3 = 65.27 m/s

3. Finally, equation 3 is equal to:

\frac{1}{2}MV_3^2 = \frac{1}{2}K_2X_2^2

where K_2 is the constant of the second spring and X_2 is the compress of the second spring, so:

\frac{1}{2}(0.3)(65.27)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(2)X_2^2

solving for X_2, we get:

X_2=25.27m
