(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

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

E=35921.96N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius r=0.321mm

Charge Density \mu=0.100

Distance d= 5.00 cm

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}

E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}

E=35921.96N/C

If a star with an absolute magnitude of -5 has an apparent magnitude of +5 ,then its distance is
klio [65]
You asked a question.  I'm about to answer it. 
Sadly, I can almost guarantee that you won't understand the solution. 
This realization grieves me, but there is little I can do to change it. 
My explanation will be the best of which I'm capable.


Here are the Physics facts I'll use in the solution:

-- "Apparent magnitude" means how bright the star appears to us.

-- "Absolute magnitude" means the how bright the star WOULD appear
if it were located 32.6 light years from us (10 parsecs).

-- A change of 5 magnitudes means a 100 times change in brightness,
so each magnitude means brightness is multiplied or divided by  ⁵√100 .
That's about  2.512... .  

-- Increasing magnitude means dimmer.
Decreasing magnitude means brighter.
+5 is 10 magnitudes dimmer than -5 .

-- Apparent brightness is inversely proportional to the square
of the distance from the source (just like gravity, sound, and
the force between charges).

That's all the Physics.  The rest of the solution is just arithmetic.
____________________________________________________

-- The star in the question would appear M(-5) at a distance of
32.6 light years. 

-- It actually appears as a M(+5).  That's 10 magnitudes dimmer than M(-5),
because of being farther away than 32.6 light years.

-- 10 magnitudes dimmer is ( ⁵√100)⁻¹⁰ = (100)^(-2) .

-- But brightness varies as the inverse square of distance,
so that exponent is (negative double) the ratio of the distances,
and the actual distance to the star is

(32.6) · (100)^(1) light years

= (32.6) · (100) light years

=  approx.  3,260 light years .   (roughly 1,000 parsecs)


I'll have to confess that I haven't done one of these calculations
in over 50 years, and I'm not really that confident in my result.
If somebody's health or safety depended on it, or the success of
a space mission, then I'd be strongly recommending that you get
a second opinion.
But, quite frankly, I do feel that mine is worth the 5 points.

What happens to Earth’s plates during an earthquake?
vazorg [7]

A) Claim 1: Plates move, which can cause earthquakes.

Explanation:

The Plate Tectonic Theory proves the claim of  plate move, causing earthquakes.

This theory states that the earth’s crust along with the uppermost mantle is formed of several thin but large surfaced rigid patch work of plate-like structures called tectonic plates.  

There are about 15 large slabs on the earth’s outer surface and constitutes the lithosphere. Lithosphere of the earth is represented by the oceanic and continental crust layer and the uppermost mantle layer.

These plates move or slide relative with each other. These plates form divergent, convergent, or transform boundaries. Slips or faults along these boundaries forms subduction zones leading to great stress. This prevents normal gliding motion resulting in earthquakes.

What defines "the time of full wave"
eimsori [14]

Answer:

A) Periodic time

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance from a point on a wave to the same point on an adjacent wave

Wave speed is the speed the wave is travelling at

Wave frequency is how many waves pass a fixed point in a given time period
