Answer:

1275.61° C

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor varies as a function of temperature and it is given as follows

R= R_o[1+\alpha(T-T_0)]

R_0 is the resistance at temperature T_0, R is  the resistance at T and  α is the coefficient of temperature of resistance

α= 0.0045/°C

R_0 = 20.3Ω T_0 = 20°C   and R= 135Ω  

135= 20.3[1+0.0045(T-20)]

T= 1275.61° C

Therefore the temperature of the hot filament =  1275.61° C

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

W = F\cdot \Delta s

Where:

W - Work, measured in joules.

F - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\,J

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

W_{net} = W_{Joel}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.
