If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s  </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about:  What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ?  Answer:  Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about.  Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

Un lote de construcción rectangular mide 100 metros por 150 metros. Calcula el área de este lote en yardas cuadradas.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 17939.74 yards

Explanation:

Given , A rectangular measures 100 meters by 150 meters

To find : Area of rectangle.

Formula :

Area of rectangle = Length x width

Here, let length = 100 meters and width = 150 meters

Then, Area of rectangle = 100 meters x 150 meters = 15,000 square meters

Also , 1 meter = 1.09361 yards

Then, Area of rectangle = 15,000 x 1.09361 x 1.09361 square yards

= 17939.7424815 square yards

≈ 17939.74 yards

Hence, the area of rectangle is 17939.74 yards .

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail
Darya [45]
According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>
