explain how the resistance of a filament lamp changes as the potential difference across it increases

as the potential difference increases, the current increases (ohm's law). this causes the temperature of the filament to increase, causing the resistance to increase.

How much thermal energy does a 1 kg steel block with a specific heat capacity of 450 J/kg°C lose when it cools from 400°C to 60°C?

N/A

A force is applied to a box of mass 2kg so that is accelerates at 2ms^-2. Find the force acting on the box and thus calculate the work done in moving the box 10m in the direction of the force.
