of the following strategies would increase the lifetime of a bulb without making it dimmer? A. Reducing the average current through the bulb B. Limiting the maximum current through the bulb C. Increasing the average current through the bulb D. Limiting the minimum current through the bulb

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.

Particle q1 has a positive 6 µC charge. Particle q2 has a positive 2 µC charge. They are located 0.1 meters apart.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

F = 10.788 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=6\ \mu C=6\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=2\ \mu C=2\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance between charges, d = 0.1 m

We know that there is a force between charges. It is called electrostatic force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2 }\\\\F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 6\times 10^{-6}\times 2\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2 }\\\\F=10.788\ N

So, the force applied between charges is 10.788 N.

g A projectile is launched with speed v0 from point A. Determine the launch angle ! which results in the maximum range R up the
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

Explanation:

The formula for the horizontal range of the projectile is given by

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

The range should be maximum if the value of Sin2θ is maximum.

The maximum value of Sin2θ is 1.

It means 2θ = 90

θ = 45

Thus, the range is maximum when the angle of projection is 45 degree.

If the angle of projection is 0 degree

R = 0

It means the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is zero, it can move in vertical direction.

If the angle of projection is 30 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin60 }{9.8}

R = 0.088u^2

If the angle of projection is 45 degree.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin90 }{g}

R = u^2 / g

A thin, horizontal, 18-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to -3.8 nC. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on th
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

E = 8436.7 N/C

Part b)

E = 8436.7 N/C

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}

Q = -3.8 nC

A = \pi(0.09)^2

A = 0.025 m^2

\sigma = \frac{-3.8\times 10^{-9}}{0.025}

\sigma = -1.5 \times 10^{-7} C/m^2

now the electric field is given as

E = \frac{-1.5 \times 10^{-7}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E = 8436.7 N/C

Part b)

Now since the electric field is required at same distance on other side

so the field will remain same on other side of the plate

E = 8436.7 N/C

A 74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a 2.44 kg physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s. what i
never [62]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.2687 m/s.

Explanation:

∵ The person is sitting on an icy surface , we can assume that the surface is frictionless.

∴ There is no force acting acting on the person and book as a system in horizontal direction.

Hence , momentum is conserved for this system in horizontal direction of motion.

If 'i' and 'f' be the initial and final states of this system , then by principle of conservation of momentum(p)  -

p_{i}=p_{f}

System initially is at rest

∴p_{i}=0

∴ From the above 2 equations

p_{f}=0

We know that ,

Momentum(p)=Mass of the body(m)×velocity of the body(v)

Let m_{1} and m_{2} be the mass of the person and the book respectively and v_{1} and v_{2} be the final velocities of the person and book respectively.

∴p_{f}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=0

From the question ,

m_{1} = 74.9 kg

m_{2} = 2.44 kg

v_{2} = 8.25 m/s

Substituting these values in the above equation we get ,

(74.9 × v_{1} )+ (2.44×8.25) = 0

∴v_{1}  = - 0.2687 m/s (Negative sign suggests that the motion of  the person is opposite to that of the book)

∴ The recoil velocity is 0.2687 m/s.

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
