<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>

How long will it take you to travel 20 miles on a bus that drives 60 miles/h?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

<u>20 Minutes</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Well we know Mph (Miles per hour) is distance over time : \frac{distance}{time} \\

R (rate) = 60

d (distance) = 20

t (time) = Unknown

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 R = \frac{d}{t}  

   ↓

60 = \frac{20}{t}

   ↓

 t = \frac{20}{60}

    ↓

 t = \frac{1}{3}  or 0.3333

<em>So basically it would take one third of an hour. Lets change these units to minutes.</em>

60 * 0.333333 = 20

<em>So it would take you </em><u><em>20 minutes</em></u><em> to drive 20 miles on a bus that drives 60 mph</em>

<em />

Hope that helps

On the way to school, Jed traveled 100m north, 300m east, 100 north, 100m east, and 100m north. A.) Find the total distance trav
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Total distance = 700 m

Displacement = 500 m

Explanation:

Notice that Jed travelled a total of 3 x 100 m = 300 m in the North direction, and 300 m + 100 m = 400 m in the East direction. Therefore the total distance he travelled is:  300 + 400 = 700 m.

But the actual displacement is given by the Pythagorean theorem as the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle of legs 300 m and 400 m:

displacement = \sqrt{300^2+400^2} =\sqrt{250000} =500\,m
