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.

Answer: The velocity with which the sand throw is 24.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity, a =  3.9 m/s2

height, h = 75 m

final velocity, v = 0

Let the initial  velocity at the time of throw is u.

Use third equation of motion

The velocity with which the sand throw is 24.2 m/s.

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

9. A 227 kg object is moved a distance of 2.4 m forward by a force. If 686 J of work is done on the object, what is the object’s
Korolek [52]

<em>1</em><em>.</em><em>259ms^2</em>

Explanation:

since, WORK DONE = FORCE*DISTANCE

AND, FORCE=MASS*ACCELERATION

SO, THE WORK DONE BECOMES=MASS*ACCELERATION*DISTANCE

ACCELERATION=WORK/(MASS*DISTANCE)

AND, WORK=686J

MASS=227kg

DISTANCE=2.4m

THEREFORE, ACCELERATION=686/(227*2.4)

=686/544.8

=1.259ms^2
