A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to

achieve the same brightness.
Physics

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

A 750 Watt hairdryer is used for 15 minutes. Calculate the Kwhr used. Calculate the cost to use 15 min. every day for 1 year @ 8
Rufina [12.5K]
Part (a):
We know that:
1 kw = 1000 watt ..........> Therefore, to convert watt into kw, we will divide by 1000
1 hour = 60 min ..........> Therefore, to convert mins into hours, we will divide by 60
Based on the above, the conversion results for the two units together would be as follows:
1 watt minute is equivalent to <span>0.000017 kilowatt hours
</span>Now, for the given , we will simply use cross multiplication to do the conversion as follows:
1 watt minute..............> 0.000017 kilowatt hours
750*15 ................> ??
750*15 watt min = 0.19125 kilowatt hour

Part (b):
From part a, we have that the consumption is 0.19125 kilowatt hour per day. Assuming that the year is 365 days, we would have:
yearly consumption = 0.19125 * 365 = 69.80625 kilowatt hour
The cost is 8 cents/kilowatt hour
Therefore:
yearly cost = 69.80625 * 8 = 558.45 cents

Hope this helps :)

If different groups of scientist have access to the same data, how can they draw different conclusions?
vazorg [7]

If a group of scientists have access to one data, from the data they can draw conclusions either through mathematics or just thought experiments.

Those thought experiments is different for any scientist, no one thinks the same especially when the topic is difficult.

For example when talking about parallel universes, scientists have come up with the weirdest examples of a multiverse. Some thinking of a brane universe, while others say that its a landscape universe, quilted universe. All of their 'evidence' seems correct but they have opposite meanings.

A weird analogy is 'religion'. All the religions seem to have 'evidences' (hardly) that attract people towards it, they all make sense but that doesn't mean that their evidence is right.

----

Now if they're trying to break down the data using maths, there could be a great uncertainty and measurement error that if done enough could change the whole idea behind the data.

Interesting question, I can babble for days for this but lets keep it as that

When can thermal energy in a system move from lower to higher temperatures?
Fed [463]

Answer:

When the object in creases or decreases in temperature.

Explanation:

Heat flow moves energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. The bigger the difference in temperature between two objects, the faster heat flows between them. When temperatures are the same there is no change in energy due to heat flow. Radiation and Conduction are the two methods of heat transfer..
