An operating electric circuit consists of a lamp and a length of nichrome wire connected in series to a 12- volt battery. As the

temperature of the nichrome is decreased, what happens to the equivalent resistance of the circuit and the power developed by the lamp?

The resistance of the wire will decrease as its temperature is decreased due to reduced hindrance in the flow of electrons. This means the current will increase. Electric power:
P = I²/R
The power produced will thus increase since the current is increasing and the resistance decreasing.

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature

What is the difference between direct current and alternating current?
IRINA_888 [86]
In a direct current, the electric charge, or current, only flows in one direction. In an alternating current, the electric charge changes periodically.

Tyson throws a shot put ball weighing 7.26 kg. At a height of 2.1 m above the ground, the mechanical energy of the ball is 172.1
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.

E = PE + KE

E = mgh + ½mv²

172.1 J = (7.26 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2.1 m) + ½ (7.26 kg) v²

v = 2.5 m/s

An alternating source drives a series RLC circuit with an emf amplitude of 6.04 V, at a phase angle of +30.3°. When the potentia
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

-8.56V

Explanation:

Our values are given by,

e = 6.04 V

Φ = 30.3

VC = 5.32

We can calculate the voltage across the circuit with the emf formula, that is,

e(t) = e* sin(wt)

e(t) = 6.04 * sin(Φ + π)

e(t) = 6.04 * sin(32.5 + 180)

e(t) = -3.245 V

Now, Using Kirchoff Voltage Law,

e(t) - VR- VL - VC = 0

-3.24 - 0 - VL - 5.32 = 0

Finally we have the potential difference across the inductor.

VL = - 8.56 v

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp
NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz is the frequency

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m

and so, the diameter is

d=2y = 750 m

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2

And since the power is

P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W

The average intensity is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2
