(II) You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricity is delivered at 240 V. If you use the bulb in the United States at 12

0 V (assume its resistance does not change), how bright will it be relative to 75-W 120-V bulbs? [Hint: Assume roughly that brightness is proportional to power consumed.]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are looking for the resistance to start with

W = E * E/R

75 = 240 * 240 / R

75 * R = 240 * 240

R = 240 * 240 / 75

R = 57600 / 75

R = 768

Now let's see what happens when you try putting this into 110

W = E^2 / R

W = 120^2 / 768

W = 18.75

So the wattage is rated at 75. 18.75 is a far cry from that. I think they intend you to set up a ratio of

18.75 / 75 = 0.25

This is the long sure way of solving it. The quick way is to realize that the voltage is the only thing that is going to change. 120 * 120 / (240 * 240) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound.
Novay_Z [31]
<span>The correct answer is: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:
As the guitar strings are plunked, the potential energy stored in the strings has an ability to make them vibrate. When the strings are vibrating, that potential energy is actually converted to the kinetic energy. Hence, the whole phenomena contains both the kinetic energy and the potential energy. The sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is called Mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Mechanical Energy.</span>

A student weighing 700 N climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. The average power expended by the
Goshia [24]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to power, defined as the amount of energy applied over a period of time.

The energy in this case is the accumulated in the form of potential energy, over a period of time. Thus we will have that the mathematical expression of the power can be expressed as

P = \frac{E}{t}

Here,

E = Energy

t = time

As the energy is equal to the potential Energy we have tat

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

The weight (mg) of the man is 700N, the height (h) is 8m and the time is 10s, then:

P = \frac{700*8}{10}

P = 560W

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Analyze the chemical reaction below
34kurt

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Given that 16 g CH4 + 64 g 02 - 44 g CO2 + 36g H2O

To explain the law of conservation of mass and describe how the equation represents the law of conservation of mass, let me first start from law.

The law state that: mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

The mass of each element at the reaction side must be equal or the Same with the magnitude of mass at the product

The equation represents the law of conservation of mass because the mass of molecules at the right hand side is equal to or balance with the molecules at the left hand side. For example, the number of Oxygen, and othe elements are the at both side.
