Answer:

120°

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces acting on the traffic light.  Two tension forces acting along the cables, and weight.

The tension forces have an angle θ between them.  That means each tension force forms an angle of θ/2 with respect to the vertical.  So the y component of each tension force is:

Ty = T cos (θ/2)

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Ty + Ty − W = 0

2 Ty = W

Substituting:

2 T cos (θ/2) = W

If W = T, then:

2 W cos (θ/2) = W

2 cos (θ/2) = 1

cos (θ/2) = 1/2

θ/2 = 60°

θ = 120°

A researcher determined the amount of electrical energy entering a neon lighted sign and compared it with the amount of light pr
andriy [413]

The best explanation of the observation of the researcher is that some of the energy is converted into thermal energy (option C).

<h3>How does energy transfer?</h3>

Energy, according to the law of conservation of energy, cannot be created nor destroyed but transformed.

According to this question, a researcher found that the amount of light energy produced in a neon lighted sign was less than the amount of electrical energy used.

This suggests that some of the energy is converted into thermal energy.

Using p=v * i
p=250 * 0.8=200w = 0.2kw
power consumed in a day=0.2 *8=1.6 kwh
for one month=1.6 * 30 =48kwh
monthly bills= 48 *3 = Rs 144
