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

Physics

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.

A block is launched up a frictionless 40° slope with an initial speed v and reaches a maximum vertical height h. The same block
Strike441 [17]

Answer: 1. h

Explanation:

The block would reach exactly the same height from the ground. It would travel a greater distance away from the source, but the height away from the earth would remain the same as you are giving it the same energy each time. Therefore, it will reach the same gravitation potential energy.

Another approach to look at it this is seeing it when the Block moves up the slope, its kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy increases. In both cases, the kinetic energy decreases by same amount, therefore the block rises to same height H.

Try to use the formula;

1/2MV2 = mgh

Where V = √(2gh)

I hope this helps

A student pushes a laptop cart down the hallway by applying 20 Newtons force. The student pushes it 10 meters and
noname [10]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

  • By definition, work is a process that it happens when an applied force

        causes an object to change its position, i.e. to have a displacement.

        Since the laptop cart is at rest while he stops at the water fountain, no  

       net work done is on the laptop cart.

Because of the fatiguing effects of the sun, wind and motion of the boat, having one drink on the water is like having how many
Brut [27]
One drink in a boat on water is like having 3 on shore. This is because alcohol hinders a person's ability to maintain posture and composure by impairing brain function. Less of a person's abilities are needed to maintain themselves on land, which is not the case in a boat, as the platform under one's feet is not stationary, and other factors such as the sun as wind are also involved.
