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 thin cylindrical shell and a solid cylinder have the same mass and radius. The two are released side by side and roll down, wi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity be v

Total energy at the bottom

= rotational + linear kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² ( I moment of inertia of shell  = mr² )

= 1/2 mr²ω² + 1/2 mv² ( v = ω r )

= 1/2 mv² +1/2 mv²

= mv²

mv² = mgh ( conservation of energy )

v² = gh

v = √gh

= √9.8 x 1.8

= 4.2 m /s

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i
Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction
