After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

What is the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is 256 Hz and speed of the wave is 350 m/s?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

$256=\frac{350}{\lambda}$ and

$\lambda=\frac{350}{256}$ which means that

the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

$F = 159.7 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

$mg - T = ma$

for uniform cylinder we will have

$TR = I\alpha$

so we have

$T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}Ma$

now we have

$mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a$

$a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}$

$a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}$

$a = 7 m/s^2$

now we have

$T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}$

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)$

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

$v_f - v_i = at$

$11.8 - 0 = 7 t$

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

$F = T + Mg$

$F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)$

$F = 159.7 N$

Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/

madam [21]

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

= - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

= ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2
