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

a car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to 70km/h in 7 seconds. find the cars acceleration
ELEN [110]
<span>a = (v2 - v1)/t= acceleration formula

a = (70 - 0)/7
a = 10 km/hr/sec
-----
It's better to use as few units as possible.
10 km/hr = 10 km*1000 m/km/(1 hr*3600 sec/hr) = 25/9 m/sec
a= 25/9 m/sec/se</span>

. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 100.0-kg meteor approaching the Earth at a speed of 10.0 km/s. Remember that 1 km = 1000 m.
anastassius [24]
Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules
