Why a bulb contains coiled wire?

1 answer:

LiRa [457]2 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.

What is the magnitude of the velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U=0 at equi

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

General Equation of SHM is given by

$x=A\cos \omega t$

$v=-A\omega \sin \omega t$

where x=position of particle

A=maximum Amplitude

$\omega =$ angular frequency

t=time

At any time Total Energy is the sum of kinetic Energy and Elastic potential Energy i.e. $\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where k=spring constant

Potential Energy is given by $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

also it is given that Potential Energy(U) is equal to Kinetic Energy(K)

Total Energy $=K+U$

Total $=2U=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

at $x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

velocity is $v=\frac{A\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the

vitfil [10]

Answer:

12.31 m/s

Explanation:

If we recall from the previous knowledge we had about speed,

we will know that:

speed = distance/ time.

As such:

The average speed of the rider bicycle is

average speed = total distance/ total time

Mathematically, it can be computed as:

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{d+d}{\dfrac{d}{v_1}+ \dfrac{d}{v_2}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2d}{\dfrac{d}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{d}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{1}{10 \ m/s}+ \dfrac{1}{16 \ m/s}}$

$v_{avg} = \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{13}{80 \ m/s}}$

$\mathbf{v_{avg} =12.31 \ m/s}$
