How efficient is an incandescent light bulb?

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Answer:

4363.3231 feets²

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance, r = 50 ft

θ = 200°

The arc length of area covered :

Arc length = θ/360° * πr²

Arc length = (200/360) * 50 ft ^2 * π

Arc length = 0.5555555 * 2500 * π

Arc length = 4363.3231 feets²

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass

Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope ( $F_{t}$ ), vertical gravitational force ( $F_{g}$ ) and vertical normal force ( $F_{n}$ ), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, $F_{g}$ and $F_{n}$ cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope $F_{t}$ .

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope ( $F_{t}$ ) and the gravitational force ( $F_{g}$ ). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

$F_{r}=m.a$

$a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}$

$a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}$

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

$F_{r}=m.a$

$F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a$
