Answer:

The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125

Potential difference = 150 V

Temperature = 20° C

Power = 300 watt

Wire's initial temperature = 20°C

Wire's final temperature = 1820°C

We need to calculate the resistance at 20°C

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R_{0}}

R_{0}=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

Where, P = power

V = Potential difference

R_{0}=\dfrac{150^2}{300}

R_{0}=75\ \Omega

We need to calculate the resistance at 1820°C

Using formula of temperature of coefficient of resistivity

R=R_{0}(1+\alpha(T-T_{0}))

R=75(1+0.0003125(1820-20))

R=117.19\ \Omega

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P'=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

P'=\dfrac{150^2}{117.19}

P'=192\ Watt

We need to calculate the percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C

\Delta P=|\dfrac{P'-P}{P}|\times100

\Delta P=|\dfrac{192-300}{300}|\times100

\Delta P=36\%

Hence, The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Answer:

The power decreases by 36%

Explanation:

Given:

At 20° C

Power, P₀ = 300 W

Potential difference, V = 150 volts

Now, power is given as

P = V²/R

where, R is the resistance

on substituting the values, we get

300 = 150²/R₀

or

R₀ = 75 Ω

Now, the variation of resistance with temperature is given as

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

where, α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125 (°C⁻¹)

now, at

T₀ = 20° C

R₀ = 75 Ω

for

T = 1820° C

we have

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

substituting the values

we get

R = 75×[1 + 0.0003125 × (1820 - 20)]

or

R = 117.18 Ω

Now using the formula for power

We have,

P = V²/R

or

P = 150²/117.18 = 192 W

Therefore, the percentage change will be

= \frac{P-P_0}{P_0}\times 100

on substituting the values , we get

= \frac{192-300}{300}\times 100

= -36%

here, negative sign depicts the decrease in power

What do you mean by physical quantity
Naddika [18.5K]

A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.

There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc

Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.

Four identical particles of mass 0.980 kg each are placed at the vertices of a 4.14 m x 4.14 m square and held there by four mas
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) The rotational inertia when it passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square is 16.8 kg m²

b) I = 50.39 kg m²

c) I = 16.8 kg m²

Explanation:

a) Given data:

m = 0.98 kg

a = 4.14 * 4.14

The moment of inertia is:

I=mr^{2} \\r=\frac{a}{2} \\I=m(a/2)^{2} \\I=\frac{ma^{2} }{4}

For 4 particles:

I=4(\frac{ma^{2} }{4} )=ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}

b) Distance from top left mass = x = a/2

Distance from bottom left mass = x = a/2

Distance from top right mass = x = √5 (a/2)

The total moment of inertia is:

I=m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2} +m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}=\frac{12ma^{2} }{4} =3ma^{2} =3*0.98*(4.14)^{2} =50.39kgm^{2}

c)

I=2m(\frac{m}{\sqrt{2} } )^{2} =ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}

A 2kg object is tied to the end of a cord and whirled in a horizontal circle of radius 2 m. If the body makes three complete rev
Travka [436]

Answer:

a) 37.70 m/s

b)710.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that ;

Mass of object = 2 kg

Radius of the motion = 2m

Frequency of motion = 3 rev/s

The formula to apply is;

v= 2πrf   where v is linear speed

v = 2×π×2×3 =12π = 37.70 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a= 4×π²×r×f²  

a= 4×π²×2×3²

a=710.6 m/s²

1. Los Angeles lies on Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on North American plate. When will the two cities meet if the distance
spin [16.1K]

Los Angeles lies on the Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on the North American plate, and the meeting point of the two cities is mathematically given as

T = 120 x 105 years

<h3>What is the meeting point of the two plates?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Distance is mathematically given as

D = Rate x Time

Therefore

T = D/R

T = (600 x 105) / 5

T = 120 x 105 years

In conclusion, the meeting point of the two plates will be

T = 120 x 105 years
