A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
1 answer:
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.
change the decimal to a percentage:
the light bulb had 9% efficiency
- 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.

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is
Explanation:
As we know that,
.................(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of water = 130.0 g
= mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g
= final temperature
=
= temperature of water =
= temperature of aluminium =
= specific heat of water=
= specific heat of aluminium= ?
Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get
Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol
Thus molar heat capacity =
