I) A 100 W and 60 W bulb are joined in series and connected to the mains. Which bulb

Physics
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

i) 60 W

ii) 100 W

Explanation:

In each case, the bulb that dissipates the most power is the bulb that glows brighter.  Power is voltage times current (P = VI).  Using Ohm's law, we can rewrite this as P = I²R or P = V²/R.

Bulbs are rated at a certain power for a certain voltage.  P = V²/R, so the bulb with the lower resistance will have the higher power rating.  Therefore, the 100 W bulb has a lower resistance than the 60 W bulb.

i) They are in series, so they have the same current.  P = I²R, so the bulb with the higher resistance will glow brighter.  That's the 60 W bulb.

ii) They are in parallel, so they have the same voltage.  P = V²/R, so the bulb with the lower resistance will glow brighter.  That's the 100 W bulb.

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude of 4.08 × 105 m above the surface of the planet. At what veloc
alukav5142 [94]

This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}

<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>
