An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Particles in plasmas collide more often, but that does not necessarily give them higher temperature.

Plasma particles have high kinetic energy (they move quickly).

Plasma particles are far apart.

The plasma in a fluorescent bulb has a low density.

Which refers to the force that one massive object exerts to attract another object? velocity gravity acceleration newton
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

gravity is the correct answer to the given question .

Explanation:

The gravity is the gravitational force due to the gravitational the solar system as well as the other body of dimensional object to its center point. The gravitational force maintains all the planetary systems in the orbit over the sun.We can called gravitational force as the universal force .

  • The gravitational force attracts the huge object for grabbing the another object.
  • All the other option are not attracting the another object that's why these are incorrect option .

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

D. 693.8.

Explanation:

  • The first scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is 600.
  • The second scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is 690.
  • The third scale of the triple beam balance indicate that the mass is higher that 693.5 and the scale is near but lower than 694, so the mass = 693.8.c
