Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?

Physics

Anna35 [415]3 years ago

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

A solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)

16.5 = mass x 1.7

mass = \frac{16.5}{1.7} = 9.7 kg

A man pushes an 250-N crate at constant speed a distance of 30.0 m upward along a rough slope that makes an angle of 60° with th
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

6495.19 Joule

Explanation:

F = Weight of the crate = 250 N

d = Distance the cart is pushed = 30 m

θ = Angle of inclination = 60°

The weight of the crate will be resloved into two components

Fdsinθ and Fdcosθ

Work done by the force of gravity is

W = Fdsinθ

⇒W = 250×30×sin60

⇒W = 6495.19 Joule

∴ The work done by the force of gravity is 6495.19 Joule

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

Gravity can be described as (2 points)
ladessa [460]

Answer:

"the force of attraction between two objects"

Explanation:

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, gravity is a force of attraction acting between objects that possess mass. The fact that we only observe gravitational attraction (as opposed to repulsion) makes gravity unique among the known forces.
