How efficient is an incandescent light bulb?

Physics
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago

That depends on what you want to use them for.

As sources of light, they are somewhere around 15% - 20% efficient.

As heaters, they are somewhere around 80% - 85% efficient.

Why would an egg break immediately when it hits the ground?
Elza [17]

As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

a rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically with a net upward acceleration of 12 m/s2 . at an altitude of 0.50 km, the engi
kobusy [5.1K]

The rocket travelled a maximum height at 1.0102 km.

Given,

The acceleration of a rocket (a) = 12 m/s²

The altitude of the rocket (s) =  0.50 km = 0.5×10³m

The maximum height of the rocket (h) = ?

Solution,

A rocket is a spacecraft, aircraft, vehicle or projectile that obtains thrust from a rocket engine.

The rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time is known as acceleration. It is denoted by (a).i.e. unit is m/s²

(a) = Δv/Δt

Where , Δv is change in velocity and Δt is change in time.

The rate of change in position with respect to time is known as velocity. i.e. Its unit is m/s.

(v)= Δx/Δt

Where,Δx is the change in position and Δt is change in time & v is velocity.

Therefore we know the equation of motion is written as,

v² = u² +2as

Where, v  is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and s is altitude of the rocket.

Then putting the value ,

v² = 0 + ( 2× 10 × 0.5×10³)m/s

v² = \sqrt{10000} m/s

v = 100 m/s

Therefore, at altitude of 0.50 km the initial velocity of rocket (u) will be 100 m/s, final velocity v become zero and under free falling the acceleration will be taken (-g) then equation of motion can be given as ,

v² = u² - 2(g)h

h = (v²- u² ) / 2g

h = 10,000/2×9.8

h = 510.2 m

So that the rocket travelled the maximum height ,

(h)= (0.5 km + 510.2m)

(h) = 1.0102 km

Hence, the rocket travelled at the maximum height h is 1.0102 km

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
