<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by

Answer:
6.37 x 10³ Km
Explanation:
given,
Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m
we know,
1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 0.001 Km
6,370,000 m = 6,370,000 x 0.001
= 6,370 Km
The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.
To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.
Representing the given number in scientific notation
= 6.37 x 10³ Km
The answer should be C) Slide against each other.
Answer:
A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Final velocity (V) = 0
Time (t) =?
Initial velocity (U) =?
A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.
Let us obtain an express for time (t)
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)
a = V/t
Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)
V = s/t
a = s/t^2
Cross multiply
a x t^2 = s
Divide both side by a
t^2 = s/a
Take the square root of both side
t = √(s/a)
Now we can obtain the time as follow
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Time (t) =..?
t = √(s/a)
t = √(256/26)
t = 3.14 secs
Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.
V = U + at
Final velocity (V) = 0
Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2
Time (t) = 3.14 sec
Initial velocity (U) =.?
0 = U – 26x3.14
0 = U – 81.64
Collect like terms
U = 81.64 ft/s
Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
