Two lightbulbs work on a 120-V circuit One 50 W and the other is 100 W. Which bulb has a higher resistance? Explain pls!!!!

Physics

Sladkaya [172]2 years ago

Answer:

Bulb 1 has more resistance.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two lightbulbs work on a 120-V circuit.

The power of circuit 1, P₁ = 50 W

The power of circuit 2, P₂ = 100 W

We need to find the bulb that has a higher resistance.

The power of the bulb is given by :

P = \dfrac{V^2}{R}

For bulb 1,

R_1=\dfrac{V^2}{P_1}\\\\R_1=\dfrac{(120)^2}{50}\\\\R_1=288\ \Omega

For bulb 2,

R_2=\dfrac{V^2}{P_2}\\\\R_2=\dfrac{(120)^2}{100}\\\\R_2=144\ \Omega

So, bulb 1 has higher resistance.

The world record for the 100.0 meter dash is 9.580 seconds. Find the speed of the runner in miles per hour.
grigory [225]

Answer:

233.1 miles per hours

Explanation:

Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,

S = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.

Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds

Conversion:

If, 1 meter =  0.00062 miles

Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.

Also

If, 3600 s = 1 h

Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 0.62/0.00266

S = 233.1 miles per hours.

Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours

A pendulum is swinging back and forth with a period of 2.0 seconds here on Earth. This pendulum is then brought to the Moon. Wha
LenKa [72]

Answer: The period of the pendulum will increase. Because of less gravity

Explanation:

Since the force of gravity is less on the Moon, the pendulum  would swing slower at the same length and angle and its frequency would be less. Hence more time period will be experienced by the pendulum. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity g is less when compared to that of the earth.
