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 skier is gliding along 3.0 m/s on horizontal, frictionless snow. he suddenly starts down a 10 degrees incline. his speed at th
Elza [17]
... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m

(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry

... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s

In the following lever system, what is the clockwise torque? 18 Nm 240 Nm 360 Nm 480 Nm
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

240 Nm

Explanation:

The clockwise torque is the torque determined only by the force that makes the lever rotating clockwise: therefore, the force of 80 N on the right.

The torque produced by this force is given by:

\tau = F d

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the arm

For the force of 80 N on the right,

F = 80 N

d = 3 m (distance from the pivot)

So, the clockwise moment is

\tau = (80)(3)=240 Nm

When mapping the equipotentials on the plates with different electrode configurations you may find that some have significant ar
Olenka [21]

Answer:

v = 10 V and E = 2 10³ N/C

Explanation:

The electrical potentials and the electric field at one point are related by the expression

            ΔV = - ∫ E. dS

Where the bold indicates vector quantities, E is the electric field and S is the line of displacement of the load, in general displacement is perpendicular to the equipotential lines, which reduces the product scales to the ordinary product.

 If the potential difference is the most usual that is V = 10 V, the electric field is

   s = 0.5 cm = 0.5 10⁻² m

                E = ΔV / S

                E = 10/0.5 10⁻²

                 E = 2 10³ N / C
