The filament of an incandescent light bulb is made of tungsten which has a thermal coefficient of resistivity of α = 4.4 x 10-3

K-1. The filament is initially at room temperature, To = 293 K. When it is connected across a V = 140 volt power supply the filament quickly heats up to T = 2900 K at which time the current flowing through the filament is I = 0.95 amps.

Answer:

The current when the filament at room temperature is 11.84 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thermal coefficient of resistivity \alpha=4.4\times10^{-3}\ K^{-1}

Initial temperature = 293 K

Voltage = 140 Volt

Final temperature = 2900 K

Current = 0.95 A

Suppose we find the numerical value of the current when the filament is at room temperature

So, We use the equation of resistance of a material changes with temperature

R=R_{0}(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))....(I)

Using ohm's law for value of resistance

V = I R

R = \dfrac{V}{I}

Put the value of resistance in the equation (I)

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{V}{I_{0}}(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))

I_{0}=I(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))

Put the value into the formula

I_{0}=0.95(1+4.4\times10^{-3}(2900-293))

I_{0}=11.84\ A

Hence, The current when the filament at room temperature is 11.84 A.

Why isn't pluto considered a planet anymore?
aivan3 [116]

The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.

1. It is in orbit around the Sun

2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium

3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit

Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'

A 1.00 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring. the spring is initially stretched by 0.500 m, and the object is released fr
valina [46]
The  spring is initially stretched, and the mass released from rest (v=0). The next time the speed becomes zero again is when the spring is fully compressed, and the mass is on the opposite side of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, after a time t=0.100 s. This corresponds to half oscillation of the system. Therefore, the period of a full oscillation of the system is
T=2 t = 2 \cdot 0.100 s = 0.200 s
Which means that the frequency is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{0.200 s}=5 Hz
and the angular frequency is
\omega=2 \pi f = 2 \pi (5 Hz)=31.4 rad/s

In a spring-mass system, the maximum velocity of the object is given by
v_{max} = A \omega
where A is the amplitude of the oscillation. In our problem, the amplitude of the motion corresponds to the initial displacement of the object (A=0.500 m), therefore the maximum velocity is
v_{max} = A \omega = (0.500 m)(31.4 rad/s)= 15.7 m/s

<h3>What is an equation of motion?</h3>

Physicists use equations of motion to describe how a physical system behaves in terms of how its motion changes over time.

The behavior of a physical system is described by the equations of motion in more detail as a collection of mathematical functions expressed in terms of dynamic variables. These variables typically comprise time and spatial coordinates, but they could also have momentum components. The most flexible option is generalized coordinates, which can be any useful variable that is a component of the physical system. In classical mechanics, the functions are defined in a Euclidean space, while curved spaces are used in relativity instead. The equations are the answers to the differential equations describing the motion of the dynamics of the dynamics of a system are known. The amount of motion changes according to the strength of the force and does so in the direction of the force's applied straight line.
