A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy

per second?

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 !

Lemur [1.5K]
The vessel must also have red and green side lights.

The red light is placed on the port (left) side of the boat while the green light is placed on the starboard (right) side of the vehicle. The white lights are on both the masthead (front) and stern (rear) of the boat, unless the vessel is less than 39.4 feet, in which case the front and rear white light may be combined as only one white light.

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the
ladessa [460]

The units are not consistent - 1 m/s is not the same as 1 km/h.

First thing to do would be to convert from one unit of speed to the other, say km/h to m/s. There are 1000 meters (m) for every kilometer (km) and 3600 seconds (s) for every hour (h), so

1\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}\cdot\dfrac{10^3\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm{km}}\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm h}{3600\,\mathrm s}\approx0.278\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

So in fact 1 km/h is about 4 times slower than 1 m/s.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Here, he is able both to share his own suffering and—in a way that Mammy cannot—insist on his love for Laila. Babi's dream for leaving Afghanistan is, ironically, based in his love for the country—a love he thinks can be better kept alive by continuing to celebrate its culture and cuisine abroad.JThe nucleus of some isotopes will spontaneously undergo nuclear decay. These isotopes are said to be radioactive. What causes the nucleus of an isotope to be radioactive?

The electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other

Nuclear forces disintegrate protons

There are too many electrons in its orbitals

The electric force causes electrons to be released

(please help i genuinely cant find out why)Babi had wanted Laila and Tariq to understand their country's living, breathing heritage—a heritage quite apart from the violence and turmoil of the national wars. The Buddhas, testimony to an ancient community of monks that lived in caves within the cliffs, symbolize the cultural richness of this national heritageAs an unstable atom tries to reach a stable form, energy and matter are released from the nucleus. This spontaneous change in the nucleus is called radioactive decay. When there is a change in the nucleus and one element changes into another, it is called transmutation.Carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 5,730 years (meaning that half of the material will be gone after 5,730 years). This decay means the amount of carbon-14 in an object serves as a clock, showing the object's age in a process called “carbon dating.”Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.
