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?

k0ka [10]3 years ago

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 !

7. An 8 kg ball is travelling to the east at 10 ms', collides with a 2 kg ball travelling to the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg,  V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5)  =80-10  = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s

Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

\rho = Density of medium

A = Area

\nu = Frequency

\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2

Intensity of sound is given by

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2

So,

I\propto \nu^2

We get

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

The ratio is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).
