<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span> $P=I^2 R$
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

he cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. Which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp

stepladder [879]

Answer:

c. both have same energy

Explanation:

The complete question is

suppose you have two cans, one with milk, and the other with refried beans. The cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. If you release both cans at the same time, on a downhill ramp, which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp? ignore friction and air resistance..

a. can with beans

b. can with milk

c. both have same energy

please explain your answer

Since both cans have the same size, shape, and mass, and they are released at the same height above the ramp, they'll possess the same amount of mechanical energy. This is because their mechanical energy, which is the combination of their potential and kinetic energy are both dependent on their mass. Also, having the same physical quantities like their size and shape means that they will experience the same environmental or physical factors, which will be balanced for both.

a trampoline launches a 50kg person 2m into the air. if the springs push with 1960N of force, how much displacement was there in

Lina20 [59]

Answer: 0.5 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the person is $m=50\ kg$

Trampoline launches the person into the air up to height of $h=2\ m$

Force experience by springs is $F=1960\ N$

Here, the work done on displacing the springs is equivalent to the Potential energy acquired by the person i.e.

$\Rightarrow F\cdot x=mgh\quad [\text{x=displacement of the trampoline}]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50\times 9.8\times 2}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{980}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.5\ m$

Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel

spayn [35]

Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation
