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

The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical bond are called
tatiyna

Answer: Valence electrons

Valence electrons are those that are in the outermost or superficial layer of the atom, which means they have the highest energy compared to those of the inner layers.

Because of their position, it is easier for these electrons to interact with other atoms of their own element as well as different elements. This is done through the process of forming bonds when being attracted by other atoms.

What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 50kg and is and it is traveling at a rate of 60m/s.
liq [111]

Answer:

90,000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where <em>m </em>is the mass in kilograms and <em>v</em> is the velocity in m/s.

We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.

<em>m</em>=50

<em>v</em>=60

Substitute these values into the formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*60^2

First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.

60^2=60*60=3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*3,600

Multiply 50 and 3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*180,000

Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.

KE=90,000

Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.

KE=90,000 Joules

The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules
