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.

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

A poker that will effectively and safely function to move pieces of coal or logs in a burning fire must be fireproof itself. Hence, to be as safe as possible, such <u>poker should be made from a material that is fireproof</u> and that does not conduct a lot of heat. Otherwise, the poker will catch fire/becomes too hot during the course of usage.

Match each statement with the characteristic of scientists.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Options B, A, D, C

Explanation:

When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21
