2. Do you expect the resistance of a light bulb to remain constant as the current through it is increased and the filament goes

from red-hot to white-hot? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

Remember that as the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy of the particles inside it also increases.

So, if the temperature of a wire increases, the kinetic energy of the particles inside increases. Then when the electrons try to flow through the wire, the probability of a collision is increased (then the resistance increases). Thus, if the filament goes from red-hot to white-hot (so the temperature of the wire increases) we can conclude that the resistance that the current experiences also increases.

So no, we can not expect the resistance of the light bulb to remain constant as the filament goes from red-hot to white-hot.

What is a point of view of an object used to determine another object's motion
Finger [1]
<h2><em>A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.</em></h2>

If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power assuming that all other factors remain unchanged
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

      θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Explanation:

The resolving power of a radar is given by diffraction, for which we will use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution of two point sources, they are considered resolved if the maximum of diffraction of one coincides with the first minimum of the other.

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, so the diffraction equation of a slit remains

        a sin θ = λ

in general, the diffraction patterns occur at very small angles, so

        sin θ = θ

          θ = λ / a

in the case of radar we have a circular aperture and the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

        θ = 1.22 λ /a

In this exercise we are told that the opening changes

         a’ = 2 a

we substitute

          θ ‘= 1.22  λ / 2a

          θ' = (1.22 λ / a) 1/2

          θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

Where does groundwater come from?
jek_recluse [69]
Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers.


Hope this helps.
