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.

Answer:

7. 1.56

8. A curved line that slopes upward

Explanation:

7. The curve for quartz at the left side of the graph (400 nm) is just above the middle of the distance between 1.5 and 1.6, so is best approximated by 1.56.

___

8. The graph shows n vs. wavelength. The question asks about n vs. frequency. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelengh, which means you need to describe the curve from right to left, rather than left to right. From right to left, the curve rises, so can be called "a curved line that slopes upward."

A 12.0N force with a fixed orientation does work on a
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) \theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) \theta=117.68^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the particle, F = 12 N

Displacement of the particle, d=(2.00i -4.00j+3.00k)\ m

Magnitude of displacement, d=\sqrt{2^2+4^2+3^2}= 5.38\ m

(a) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is +30 J. The work done by the particle is given by :

W=Fd\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

According to work energy theorem, the charge in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done.

So,

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{+30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=62.31^{\circ}

(b) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is (-30) J. The work done by the particle is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}

cos\theta=\dfrac{-30\ J}{12\times 5.38}

\theta=117.68^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
