Why a bulb contains coiled wire?​

Physics
1 answer:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The filament is coiled to give it greater length. If the filament was just a piece of straight wire it would only give out a small amount of light. By curling the wire into a coil, a very long length of wire can be stored in a small space. When electricity flows through the coil it can give out much more light.

• Be able to identify the forms of kinetic vs. potential energy, and to list some forms of each. • Be able to state the Law of C
schepotkina [342]

Answers and Explanation:

Forms of Kinetic energy

  • Translational kinetic energy
  • Rotational kinetic energy
  • Vibrational kinetic energy

Forms of Potential energy

  • Gravitational potential energy
  • Electrostatic potential energy
  • Elastic potential energy
  • chemical potential energy

Energy efficiency is a measure of the amount of energy conserved in a process. It is the ratio of the output energy to the input energy.

Differences between renewable and non renewable energy

  • Renewable energy can replenish themselves by recycling and replacement while non-renewable energy cannot
  • Renewable energy are continuously available while non renewable energy are exhausted
  • Renewable energy has low carbon emission and hence environment friendly while non renewable energy has high carbon emission and not environmental friendly

Sources of renewable energy

Solar energy.

Wind energy.

Hydro energy.

Tidal energy.

Geothermal energy.

Biomass energy.

Sources of non-renewable energy

Coal

Petroleum

Natural gas

Distribution of energy consumption in the US by energy sector

Petroleum = 36.2 %

Natural gas = 28%

Coal = 13.9%

Renewable energy = 11.0%

Nuclear electric power = 8.4%

Most of the energy consumed by the United States is non-renewable

Electricity is a secondary source of energy. It is derived from the conversion of primary sources

A secondary source of energy is a derivative from the transformation of primary sources of energy

IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false
marishachu [46]

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.220 rev/s . The magnitude
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1) The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s is approximately 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is approximately 1.034 m/s

4) The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds is approximately 2.312 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity of the fan, n = 0.220 rev/s

The magnitude of the angular acceleration = 0.920 rev/s²

The direction of the angular acceleration and the angular velocity = Clockwise

The diameter of the circle formed by the electric ceiling fan blades, D = 0.800 m

1) The initial angular velocity of the fan, ω₀ = 2·π × n = 2·π × 0.220 rev/s = 1.38230076758 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the fan, α = 2·π×0.920 rad/s² = 5.78053048261 rad/s²

The fan's angular velocity, 'ω', after a time t = 0.208 seconds has passed is given as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

From which we have;

ω = 1.38230076758 rad/s + 5.78053048261 rad/s × 0.208 s = 2.58465110796 rad/s

The fan's angular velocity after 0.208 seconds is ω ≈ 2.585 rad/s

2) The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in the given time interval is given from the angle turned, 'θ', in the given time as follows;

θ = ω₀·t + 1/2·α·t²

θ = 1.38230076758 × 0.208 + 1/2 × 5.78053048261 × 0.208² = 0.41256299505 radians

2·π radians = 1 revolution

∴ 0.41256299505 radians = 0.41256299505 radian× 1 revolution/(2·π radian) = 0.06566144 revolution

The number of revolutions the blade has travelled in 0.208 s ≈ 0.066 revolutions

3) The tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 s is given as follows;

The tangential speed, v_t = ω × r = ω × D/2

At t = 0.208 s, ω = 2.58465110796 rad/s, therefore, we have;

v_t = ω × D/2 = 2.58465110796 × 0.800/2 = 1.0338604413

The tangential speed, v_t = 1.0338604413 m/s

The tangential speed ≈ 1.034 m/s

4)  The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.208 seconds, 'a' is given as follows;

a = α × r = α × D/2

a = 5.78053048261 × 0.800/2 = 2.31221219304

The tangential acceleration, a ≈ 2.312 m/s²
