It really depends on what the bulb is being used for, since efficiency means how much of the output is USEFUL.
If the bulb is being used for light in a dark room, then it produces (8.2% x 21W) = 1.72 joules per second of light energy.
If the bulb is being used to keep a hamster cage or a fish tank warm, then the 8.2% is the useful part, and the light is the other (91.8% x 21W) = 19.28 joules per second.

5) More heat will flow outside on a cold day because of:
Softa [21]

Hotter things have more heat energy than colder things. That's because the atoms or molecules move around faster in hot things (red, right) than they do in cold things (blue, left). This idea is called the kinetic theory.

katrin [286]

If you stand on one side of a strike-slip fault and the block on the other side of the fault has moved to your left, this is known as a(n)  left lateral fault.

There are several distinct sorts of fault lines, and they are called based on the fault's movement and the fault plane's own direction. These faults may be found all over the world, but the most active and earthquake-producing ones are in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire region.

When you gaze along the length of a fault line, the left side will move toward you while the right side moves away from you. This is referred to as a left-lateral fault.

What is the difference between electromagnet and electromagnetism?
trapecia [35]

An electromagnet is a made coil associated with a ferromagnetic core. ... When an electric current flows through the wire the solenoid generates a magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet. An electromagnet is a solenoid wound around a central iron core.

Electromagnetism is a process through which a material is magnetized (temporarily or permanently) by Electric current. ... This is Electromagnetism.

A photographer in a helicopter ascending vertically at a constant rate of 11.5 m/s accidentally drops a camera out the window wh
Degger [83]
The problem is a free fall problem as the camera drops. The vertical velocity is zero. It is the action of gravity that takes place here. To calculate the time it takes to reach the ground, we do as follows:

t = √2y/g = √(2)(70)/9.81 = 3.78 s

The velocity as it impacts the ground would be,

v = √2gy = 37.04 m/s

Hope this helps.
