Given that ;

Energy (work ) Produced by bulb =20 KJ = 20000 J

Input power = 15 KW

Output power given by the bulb  = Rate of doing work

                                                   = Work ÷ time

                                                   = 20000 ÷ 1800   <em>(since 1 min = 60 seconds)</em>

                                                   = 11.11 W

Noe, efficiency is the ratio of output power to input power

                                                   η = output power ÷ input power

                                                      = 11.11 ÷ 15

                                                      = 0.74

                                                      = 74%

<em>Efficiency of light bulb is 74%</em>

<em>If you liked the procedure, please give me brainliest</em>

A 1.0 m string with a 5 g stopper on the end is whirled in a vertical circle. The speed of the stopper is 8 m/s at the top of th
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

At the bottom of the circle , the potential energy of the stopper is converted into kinetic energy

1/2 m V² = mg x 2r + 1/2 mv²

m is mass of stopper , V is velocity at the bottom , r is radius of the circular path which is length of the string , v is velocity at the top

1/2  V² = g x 2r + 1/2 v²

 V² = g x 4r +  v²

 V² = 9.8 x 4 +  8²

V² = 103.2

V = 10.16 m/s

B )

If T be the tension at the top

Net downward force

= mg + T . This force provides centripetal force for the circular motion

mg +T = mv² / r

T =   mv²/r -mg

= m ( v²/r - g )

= .005 ( 8²/1 -g )

= .005 x 54.2

= .27 N .

C ) At the bottom

Net force = T  - mg , T is tension at the bottom , V is velocity at bottom

T-mg = mV²/r

T = m ( V²/r +g )

= .005 ( 10.16²/1 +9.8)

= .005 x 113

= .56 N .

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w
nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s  law. Force exerted by car,

F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg)  a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.

What substances are acidic
Sedbober [7]
A substance with LOW pH. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity level is. pH has a direct effect on how acidic a substance is. For an example, battery acid. Battery acid has a pH level of about 1. This means that battery acid is very acidic. A substance is concidered acidic when it dips below the neutral pH level of 7.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current toward the east. A proton moves toward the east alongside and just south of th
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

north direction.

Explanation:

The wire carries a current towards the east . The magnetic field will make circular path around the wire in clockwise direction  so at a point just south of wire , magnetic field will be into the plane of paper containing wire. If we take east as x -axes , north as y axes then out of plane will form z axes. Hence direction of magnetic field will be -  z direction .

Magnetic field can be represented as - B k

Proton is moving towards east ie in + x direction so it can be represented as follows

velocity = V i

Force F = q( V i x -B k)

= ( BqV) j or + ve j direction or along north direction

So direction of force will be along north direction.
