Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

$R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}$

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

$P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}$

$P\propto D^2$

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

$\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}$

$\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95$

$D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}$

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v

victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³
