<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>

) determine the density of a 32.5 g metal sample that displaces 8.39 ml of water.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Density is the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume. On the other hand, according to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object placed on the water. Thus, the density of the metal is equal to 8.39 mL. So, the density would be

Density = 32.5 g/8.39 mL = 3.87 g/mL

Susan's 12.0 kg baby brother Paul sits on a mat. Susan pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30∘ above the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of Susan $m=12 kg$

Inclination $\theta =30^{\circ}$

Tension $T=29 N$

coefficient of Friction $\mu =0.18$

Resolving Forces Along x axis

$F_x=T\cos \theta -f_r$

where $f_r=friction\ Force$

$F_y=mg-N-T\sin \theta$

since there is no movement in Y direction therefore

$N=mg-T\sin \theta$

and $f_r=\mu N$

Thus $F_x=T\cos \theta -\mu N$

$F_x=29\cos (30)-\0.18\times (12\times 9.8-29\sin (30))$

$F_x=25.114-18.558$

$F_x=6.556 N$

Work done by applied Force is equal to change to kinetic Energy

$F_x\cdot x=\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot mv_i^2$

$6.556\times 2.7=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12\times v_f^2$

$v_f^2=\frac{6.556\times 2.7\times 2}{12}$

$v_f^2=2.95$

$v_f=1.717 m/s$

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$F'=2F$

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case, we have $q_1'=2q_1$ :

$F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F$
