The energy efficiency of an incandescent light bulb (= the percentage of consumed power that is actually converted into radiated

light) is typically around 5%. Suppose a certain brand of 75 W incandescent bulb emits light primarily at wavelength ???? = 570 nm.
Calculate the total number of photons emitted by one of those bulbs if it has been shining for a 6-hour period.

Answer:

4*10^22 photons

Explanation:

To find the number of photons is necessary to calculate the total energy of the light emitted in one hour = 3600s:

E'=0.05E=0.05Pt=0.05(75J/s)(3600s)=13.500J

Furthermore, is necessary to find the  associated energy to the photon 0f 570nm with following formula:

E'=h\nu=h\frac{c}{\lambda}

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^-34 Js

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

wavelength = 570*10^-9 m

E_p=(6.62*10^{-34}Js)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{570*10^{-9}m}=3.484*20^{-29}J

Finally you divide E' between Ep to find the number of photons:

n=\frac{E'}{E_p}=\frac{13.500J}{3.484*10^{-19}}\approx4*10^{22}photons

the number of emitted photons is 4*10^22

a car collides with a wall. compare the forces exerted by the car on the wall and the wall on the car​
NeTakaya

Mass multiplied by acceleration produces force.

The acceleration is (v - 0)/t in this situation, where t seems to be the time it takes automobile A to come to a stop. According to Newton's third law of motion, the automobile produces this turning force of the wall, however the wall, which really is static and indestructible, forces an equal force back on the car.

According to Newton's third law, each action has an equal and opposite response. On this basis, you may deduce that a car driving into a wall would exert force on the wall. However, since the wall did not move, the automobile receives an equivalent force, causing it to collapse.

A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 1.5 km with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. If

1750 meters.  
First, determine how long it takes for the kit to hit the ground. Distance over constant acceleration is: 
d = 1/2 A T^2
 where
 d = distance
 A = acceleration
 T = time 
 Solving for T, gives
 d = 1/2 A T^2
 2d = A T^2
 2d/A = T^2
 sqrt(2d/A) = T 
 Substitute the known values and calculate.
 sqrt(2d/A) = T
 sqrt(2* 1500m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(3000m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(306.122449 s^2) = T
 17.49635531 s = T 
 Rounding to 4 significant figures gives 17.50 seconds. Since it will take
17.50 seconds for the kit to hit the ground, the kit needs to be dropped 17.50
seconds before the plane goes overhead. So just simply multiply by the velocity. 
17.50 s * 100 m/s = 1750 m

Frictional force is caused by the interaction of a body with​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies.  Frictional force is more for rough surface and less for smooth surfaces.
