Answer:

A. John Tyndall

Explanation:

In 1887, John Tyndall confirmed the theory of <u>biogenesis</u>, formulated by Luis Pasteur in 1864, applying sterilization by <u>discontinuous heating</u>, a process that is currently known as tyndalization. Evidence of the existence of resting microbacterial forms, very resistant to heat.

Thanks to this demonstration he is recognized as the <em>father of microbiology</em> with Pasteur. The theory brought down the previous idea of the Spontaneous Generation, which remained in force since 1745.

Determine the length of the tungsten filament in a 100 watt lightbulb given: (i) the resistivity of tungsten is 5.6 × 10−8 Ω · m

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

0.34148 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Resistivity of tungsten = $5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega m$

d = Diameter = 0.0018 inch

r = Radius = $\dfrac{r}{2}=\dfrac{0.0018}{2}=0.0009\ in$

$r=0.0009\times 0.0254=0.00002286\ m$

$\alpha$ = Temperature coefficient of tungsten = $0.0045 /^{\circ}C$

Power is given by

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{120^2}{100}\\\Rightarrow R=144\ \Omega$

We have the equation

$R_2=R_1[1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)]\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{R_2}{1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{144}{1+0.0045(2550-25)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=11.64812\ \Omega$

Resistance is given by

$R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{11.64812\times \pi (0.00002286)^2}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l=0.34148\ m$

The length of the filament is 0.34148 m

A current of 3.60A flows for 15.3s through a conductor. Calculate the number of electrons that pass through a point in the condu

Artyom0805 [142]

3.60 A = 3.60 coulombs of charge per second

(3.60 Coul/sec) x (15.3 sec) = 55.08 coulombs of charge

1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 x 10^18 electrons

Number of electrons =

(55.08 Coul) x (6.25 x 10^18 e/coul) = <em>3.4425 x 10^20 electrons</em>

En el mar, la luz visible alcanza una profundidad de aproximadamente 200 metros (zona fotica). ¿De dónde obtienen energías las p

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

En la zona apótica (profundidad inferior a 200 m); todo lo que queda de la luz solar es una luz tenue, opaca, azul-verde, demasiado impotente para siquiera considerar permitir que ocurra la fotosíntesis. Sin embargo, hay comida para tener; basura, trozos de plantas podridas y derroche de criaturas caen desde arriba para cuidar a los seres vivos en la zona apótica.

Las formas de vida a una profundidad inferior a 200 m dependen de los productos químicos que salen de los respiraderos; el procedimiento que utilizan para hacer los alimentos se llama quimiosíntesis en lugar de fotosíntesis.

A jet plane is cruising at 300 m/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.0 km, the je

jenyasd209 [6]

<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.
