<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> <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>
Given that a ball is released from a vertical height of 20 cm. It rolls down a "perfectly frictionless" ramp and up a similar ramp. What vertical height on the second ramp will the ball reach before it starts to roll back down?
Since it is perfectly frictionless, the Kinetic energy in which the ball is rolling will be equal to the potential energy at the edge of the ramp.
Therefore, the ball will reach 20 cm before it starts to roll back down.
