Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 24.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

E  = -6 \  N/C

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The charge on the small object is Q = -4.00 \ nC =  -4.00 *10^{-9} \  C

   The force is  F  =  24  \ nN  =  24 *10^{-9} \  N

    Generally the magnitude of the electric  field is mathematically represented as

       E  =  \frac{F}{Q}

=>    E  =  \frac{ 24 *10^{-9}} {-4 *10^{-9 }}

=>     E  = -6 \  N/C

Generally given that the electric field is negative it mean that its direction is opposite to that of the force
