Assume that the surface temperature of the lightbulb filament when it is plugged into an outlet of 120 V is about 3000 K and the

power rating of the bulb is the electric energy it consumes (not what it radiates). Incandescent lightbulbs usually radiate in visible light about 10% of the electric energy that they consume. Estimate the surface area of a 40-watt lightbulb filament. Express your answer with the appropriate units. A = 8.7×10−7 m2

Answer:

A=8.7\times 10^{-7}m^{2}

Explanation:

We have given power =40 W but only 10% of this power is used so actual power P=\frac{40\times 10}{100}=4 W

We know that from Stefan's law p=\sigma AT^4 where \sigma is Boltzmann constant which value is 5.6\times 10^{-8}Wm^{-2}K^{-4}

So 4=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times A\times 3000^4

A=8.7\times 10^{-7}m^{2}

The surface area of the 40-watt lightbulb filamen is about 8.7 × 10⁻⁷ m²

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Heat Transfer Rate of Radiation as follows:

\boxed{P = \sigma A T^4}

where:

<em>P = Heat Transfer Rate ( W )</em>

<em>σ = Stefan-Boltzman Constant (  5.67 × 10⁻⁸  W/m²K⁴ )</em>

<em>A = Surface Area ( m² )</em>

<em>T = Temperature ( K )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

temperature = T = 3000 K

power of lightbulb filament = P_total = 40 W

efficiency of light bulb = η = 10%

heat transfer rate = P = 10% × ( 40 W ) = 4 W

voltage = V = 120 V

<u>Asked:</u>

surface area = A = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

P = \sigma A T^4

A = P \div ( \sigma T^4 )

A = 4 \div ( 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times 3000^4 )

\boxed{A \approx 8.7 \times 10^{-7} \texttt{ m}^2}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

The surface area of the 40-watt lightbulb filamen is about 8.7 × 10⁻⁷ m²

Consider massive gliders that slide friction-free along a horizontal air track. Glider A has a mass of 1 kg, a speed of 1 m/s, a
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.

A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
