Answer: A resistor, which converts some electric energy to light and thermal energy.

Explanation:

A bulb filament is made of resistor which allows the current to pass. Usually the metal- Tungsten is used to make the filament. A filament is a wire in the bulb through which current passes and it glows.  Joule heating phenomenon is used. The electrical energy is converted to heat and light energy by the resistor when current passes through it.

Tungsten has a very high melting point, it is hard and high thermal stability. Thus, it makes the best bulb filament.

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}

By law of conservation of energy we have

KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}

Now plugging the values we get

0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}

|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }

=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }

This the required relation between G,m and d

1. How can you explain the sound has energy?<br><br><br>​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Sound energy is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound energy is a form of mechanical energy.

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
madreJ [45]

maximum static friction acting on the object will be

F_s = \mu_s mg

plug in all values

F_s = 0.40 \times 15 \times 9.8 = 58.8 N

So here it means that if applied force is less than or equal to 58.8 N then the object will remain stationary as friction can balance the external force upto this limit of external force

So here it is given that applied force is 20 N

so here object will not move due to this force and it will remain at rest always

due to this applied force
