A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb

1 answer:

8 0

Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

$\frac{9}{100} = .09$
change the decimal to a percentage:

$.09 = 9\%$
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

65 POINTS! PLEASE ANSWER EVERY QUESTION! NEED HELP ASAP!

otez555 [7]

Maybe you can split up the questions. I will try to answer your first question.

1. In an elastic collision, momentum is conserved. The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This is a consequence of Newton's 3rd law. (Action = Reaction)

2. Momentum: p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁ mass of ball A
v₁ velocity of ball A
m₂ mass of ball B
v₂ velocity of ball B

Momentum before the collision:
p = 2*9 + 3*(-6) = 18 - 18 = 0

Momentum after the collision:
p = 2*(-9) + 3*6 = -18 + 18 = 0

3: mv + m(-v) = m(-v) + m(v)
the velocities would reverse.

4.This question is not factual since the energy of an elastic collision must also be conserved. The final velocities should be: v₁ = -1 m/s and v₂ = 5 m/s. That said assuming the given velocities were correct:
before collision
p = 10*3 + 5*(-3) = 30 - 15 = 15
after collision:
p = 10*(-2) + 5 * v₂ = 15
v₂ = 7

5.You figure out.

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?

garik1379 [7]

It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit

Find the length of the third side of the triangle.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Image result for What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.Nov 23, 2016
