As the electric current in a lightbulb is slowly increased the filament glows kore and more brightly. Why does this happen

For just a second, think of the light bulb as just a resistance.

The power dissipated any any resistance is  (current)² x (resistance).

You can see that if you increase the current through any resistance,
then it dissipates more power.

The light bulb dissipates power in the form of heat and light.  If you
increase the current through it, then both of those will increase.

The atlas stone’s is a strong man competition where athletes have to load 5 stones of masses 100kg, 120kg, 140kg, 160kg and 180k
lyudmila [28]

Answer: 6250 joules

Explanation:

The work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to:

w = M*g*H

where h = 10m/s^2

then the total work that he did is equal to the sum of the work for every stone:

W = (100kg*g*H) + (120kg*g*H) + (140kg*g*H) + (160kg*g*H) + (180kg*g*H)

 = (100kg + 120kg + 140kg + 160kg + 180kg)*g*H

= (500kg)*g*H

and now we can repalce g by 10m/s^2 and H by 125cm

But you can notice that we have two different units of distance, so knowing that 100cm = 1m

we can write H =  125cm = (125/100) m = 1.25 m

Then we have:

H = 500kg*10m/s^2*1.25m = 6250 J

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
