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

Answer:
The velocity of the plane at take off is 160 m/s.
The distance travel by the plane in that time is 3200 meter.
Explanation:
Given:
Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²
Time, t = 40 s
u = 0 i .e initial velocity
To Find:
velocity , v = ?
distance , s =?
Solution:
we have first Kinematic equation
v = u + at
∴ v = 0 + 4×40
∴ v = 160 m/s
Now by Third Kinematic equation
∴ s = 0 + 0.5 × 4× 40²
∴ s = 3200 meter
