Sodium (Na) is very reactive because it does not have a full valence shell.
Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.
5 watts means 5 joules of energy per second.
(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 9,000 seconds
(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second) = 45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours
<span>You can start with the equations you know
a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2
Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds
Latitude = 44.4 degrees
If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r.
r=Rcos(44.4)
r=6378.1cos(44.4)
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m
Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above...
a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>
