Incandescent light bulbs consist of an air-tight glass enclosure (the envelope, or bulb) with a filament of tungsten wire inside the bulb, through which an electric current is passed. Contact wires and a base with two (or more) conductors provide electrical connections to the filament.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2$

Explanation:

We have series and parallel combination of two resisters $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ .

Series combination is

$R_{s}= R_{1}+R_{2}$ and Parallel is $R_{p} = (\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} )^-1$

Now dividing series equivalent resistance by parallel resistance gives us

$\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2$ .

Note! series Combination is simply superposition of two elements (resisters in this case ) in a circuit.

How far will a runner travel if she had an average speed of 10 km/hour and runs for 2.1 hours?

Rasek [7]

10 Km.
S= Speed
D= distance
T= time

S= d/t
but since you are solving for "d" the equation is d=st so you plug in 10 km/h for speed and 2.1 hours for time and just multiply them. The hours cancel out so you are left with 10km.

The velocity of the water in the pipe at right is given by V1 = 0.5t m/s and V2 = 1.0t m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

Explanation:

Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as

a = dv/dt

At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t

a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t

a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²

b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time

Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t

Time = t

Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

An extension cord is used with an electric weed trimmer that has a resistance of 17.9 Ω. The extension cord is made of copper (r

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) $R_{c}=0.87ohms$

(b) $V_{T}=114.44V$

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

$R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms$

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

$I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A$

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

$V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V$

What is water potential???

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action.
