A common flashlight bulb is rated at 0.32 A and 4.3 V (the values of the current and voltage under operating conditions). If the

resistance of the bulb filament at room temperature (20°C) is 1.6 Ω, what is the temperature of the filament when the bulb is on? The temperature coefficient of resistivity is 6.4 × 10-3 K-1 for the filament material.

Answer:

1176.01 °C

Explanation:

Using Ohm's law,

V = IR................. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance when the bulb is on

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I.................. Equation 2

R = 4.3/0.32

R = 13.4375 Ω

Using

R = R'(1+αΔθ)............................. Equation 3

Where R' = Resistance of the bulb at 20°, α = Temperature coefficient of resistivity, Δθ = change in temperature

make Δθ the subject of the equation

Δθ = (R-R')/αR'.................. Equation 4

Given: R = 13.4375 Ω, R' = 1.6 Ω, α = 6.4×10⁻³ K⁻¹

Substitute into equation 4

Δθ = (13.4375-1.6)/(1.6×0.0064)

Δθ = 11.8375/0.01024

Δθ = 1156.01 °C

But,

Δθ = T₂-T₁

T₂ = T₁+Δθ

Where T₂ and T₁ = Final and initial temperature respectively.

T₂ = 20+1156.01

T₂ = 1176.01 °C

Answer: 1.16*10^3°C

Explanation:

It is known that resistance depends on temperature

Recalling ohms law of v = ir

R = V/I

R = 4.3/0.32

R = 13.44

R = R•(1 + α(T - T•))

13.44 = 1.6(1 + 6.5*10^-3(T - 20))

13.44/1.6 = 1 + 6.5*10^-3T - 0.13

8.4 = 0.87 + 0.0065T

7.53 = 0.0065T

T = 1158.46°C

T = 1.16*10^3°C

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

daughters cells

Explanation:

when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself.

Which kind of road surface is easier to see when driving at night, a pebbled uneven surface or a mirror smooth surface?
pshichka [43]
A pebbled, uneven road would be easier to see at night because it minimizes the reflection of light from car’s light coming in the opposite direction. It is difficult to see when driving on the rainy day because the roadway reflects light from cars coming in the opposite <span>directions.</span>

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 8g of water by 15oC?
Murrr4er [49]
<h2>Answer: 502.08 J</h2>

Explanation:

The heat (thermal energy) needed in to raise the temperature in a process can be found using the following equation:

Q=m.C.\Delta T   (1)

Where:

Q is the heat

m=8 g is the mass of the element (<u>water</u> in this case)

C is the specific heat capacity of the material. In the case of water is C=4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}

\Delta T=15\°C is the variation in temperature  <u>(which is increased in this case)</u>

Knowing this, let's rewrite (1) with these values:

Q=(8 g)(4.184\frac{J}{g\°C})(15\°C)  (2)

Finally:

Q=502.08 J
