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>

Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of 0.045 N when they are 0.15 m apart. After a conducting
Levart [38]

Answer:

q_1 = \pm 1.68 \times 10^{-7} C

q_2 = \pm 6.68 \times 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

As we know that the force between two small spheres is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 , q_2 = charges on two small spheres

r = distance between two spheres = 0.15 m

now the force between them is given as

0.045 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q_1q_2)}{0.15^2}

q_1q_2 = 1.125 \times 10^{-13}

now when two spheres are connected together then the charge on them is equally divided

q = \frac{q_1+q_2}{2}

now the force between them is given as

F = \frac{k(\frac{q_1+q_2}{2})^2}{0.15^2}

0.070 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(\frac{q_1+q_2}{2})^2}{0.15^2}

q_1 + q_2 = 8.37\times 10^{-7}

so here we have

q_1 = \pm 1.68 \times 10^{-7} C

q_2 = \pm 6.68 \times 10^{-7} C

Use an example to describe the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Say you are holding a thread to the end of which is tied a stone. Now when you start whirling it around you will notice that two forces have to be applied simultaneously. One which pulls the thread inwards and the other which throws it sideways or tangentially.

Both these forces will generate their respective accelerations.

The one pointed inwards will generate centripetal or radial acceleration.

The one pointing sideways will generate tangential acceleratio

Explanation:

A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction

Centripetal means “center seeking”. Centripetal acceleration is always directed inward.

Tangential acceleration is always directed tangent to the circle.

Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an

object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration. No tangential

acceleration simply means the angular acceleration of the object is zero and the object is moving

with a constant angular velocity

A meter stick whose mass is 290 grams lies on ice. You pull at one end of the meter stick, at right angles to the stick, with a
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer

given,

mass of the stick = 290 grams = 0.29 Kg

Force on the stick on one side = F =  9 N

force acting perpendicular to stick.

magnitude of acceleration

rate of change of angular momentum is equal to Force

rate of change of angular momentum = 9 N

F = m a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{9}{0.29}

a = 31.034 m/s²

Direction of motion will in the direction of force application or in the direction of change of velocity

Two balls have masses 18 kg and 47 kg. The 18 kg ball has an initial velocity of 76 m/s (to the right) along a line joining the
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The final velocity of 18 kg ball is V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}

Explanation:

Mass of first ball m_{1} = 18 kg

Mass of second ball m_{2} = 47 kg

Initial velocity of 18 kg ball V_{1} = 76 \frac{m}{sec}

Initial velocity of 47 kg ball = 0

Final velocity of 18 kg ball V_{2} = ??

Final velocity of 18 kg ball  is given by the formula

V_{2} = \frac{2 m_{1} V_{1} }{m_{1} + m_{2}  }

Put all the values in above formula we get

V_{2} = 2 × 18 × \frac{76}{65}

V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}

Thus, the final velocity of 18 kg ball is V_{2} = 42.09 \frac{m}{sec}
