Ok so we know that electric power is:

$P=UI=I^2R$

If we express resistance.

$R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}$

Now if you have 100W of power you will probably get a bigger resistance than with 40W of power.

However here it says that the resistance of 40W bulb is bigger than 100W bulb. Which means the statement is incorrect.

Hope this helps.

A form of energy that exhibits wave behavior as it travels through space is

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is formed by the combination of electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space in the form of energy-carrying waves.

Electromagnetic waves have vibrations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. For this reason, they are classified among the transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves travel through space, and do not need a material medium to propagate.

Main types of electromagnetic radiation.

Gamma rays: More energetic radiation. It has the highest frequency (and therefore, the shortest wavelength). They constitute a form of radioactivity.

X-rays: Radiation of less energy than gamma rays. It is used in medical examinations and in the study of metals.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays: Radiation of less energy than X-rays. It comes mainly from the sun.

Visible radiation: Radiation of lower energy than ultraviolet rays. Collect the range of frequencies that can be perceived with the view, from red to violet.

Infrared rays (IR): Radiation of less energy than visible radiation. It is emitted by hot bodies.

Microwave: Radiation of less energy than infrared. It is used in appliances and medical therapy.

TV and radio waves: Less energetic radiation. They are used in telecommunications

Answer:

<em>The required constant friction force for the last 20 m is 6,862.8 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion</u>

There are several ways the energy is manifested in our physical reality. Some examples are Kinetic, Elastic, Chemical, Electric, Potential, Thermal, Mechanical, just to mention some.

The energy can be converted from one form to another by changing the conditions the objects behave. The question at hand states some types of energy that properly managed, will make the situation keep under control.

Originally, the m=220 kg car is at (near) rest at the top of a h=101 m tall track. We can assume the only energy present at that moment is the potential gravitational energy:

$E_1=mgh=220\cdot 9.8\cdot 101=217,756\ J$

For the next x1=230 m, a constant friction force Fr1=350 N is applied until it reaches ground level. This means all the potential gravitational energy was converted to speed (kinetic energy K1) and friction (thermal energy W1). Thus

$E_1=K_1+W_1$

We can compute the thermal energy lost during this part of the motion by using the constant friction force and the distance traveled:

$W_1=F_{r1}\cdot x_1=350\cdot 230=80,500\ J$

This means that the kinetic energy that remains when the car reaches ground level is

$K_1=E_1-W_1=217,756\ J-80,500\ J=137,256\ J$

We could calculate the speed at that point but it's not required or necessary. That kinetic energy is what keeps the car moving to its last section of x2=20 m where a final friction force Fr2 will be applied to completely stop it. This means all the kinetic energy will be converted to thermal energy:

$W_2=F_{r2}\cdot x_2=137,256$

Solving for Fr2

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\frac{137,256}{20}=6,862.8\ N$

The required constant friction force for the last 20 m is 6,862.8 N
