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 !

The heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kJ/mol. The heat capacity of liquid water is 75.3 J/mol · K. The conversion of 50.0 g of ice
serg [7]

Answer:

21.5 kJ

Explanation:

M = mass of  1 mole of water = 18 g

m = given mass of water = 50 g

Number of moles of water in the given amount is given as

n=\frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{50}{18}

n=2.8

L = Heat of fusion of water = 6.01 kJ/mol = 6010 J/mol

c = specific heat of water = 75.3 J/mol

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 22.0 °C

Amount of heat required is given as

Q = nL + n c \Delta T

Q = (2.8) (6010) + (2.8) (75.3) (22)

Q = 21466.5 J

Q = 21.5 kJ

Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.
kherson [118]

Explanation:

Explanation: When it is at the first point , it doesn't have a proper running force and energy is stored, therefore, potential energy is more. And at forth point, it has a large running force and it has now kinetic energy. And that's why point 1 has greater potential energy than point

a red kangaroo can hop at speeds of 65 km/hr. how much time will it take the kangaroo to hop 0.25 km at that speed?
daser333 [38]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (0.25 km) / (65 km/hr)

<em>Time = 0.00385 hour</em>

(That's 13.85 seconds.)

<u />

<u>Better way:</u>

Distance = 0.25 km

Distance = 250 meters

Speed = (65 km/hr) x (1000 m/km) x (1 hr/3600 sec)

Speed = 18.06 m/sec

Time = (250 m) / (18.06 m/s)

<em>Time = 13.85 seconds  </em>

labwork [276]

Answer: h = 5.10 m

Explanation:

v² = 2gh

h = v²/2g

h = 10.0² / (2(9.81))
