A brand of lightbulb has a power of 15 W and an efficiency of 8.9%. How much power is wasted as heat by this lightbulb?

The efficiency of the light bulb is 8.9%. This means that only 8.9% of the power of the lightbulb becomes useful power, and it corresponds to:
P_u =  \frac{8.9}{100} P =  \frac{8.9}{100}  (15 W)=1.34 W

The rest of the power instead is wasted as heat, and this amount of power wasted is given by the difference between the total power and the useful power:
P_w =  P-P_u = 15 W - 1.34 W=13.66 W

So, the power wasted as heat is 13.66 W.

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Nasa’s goal is to help industry reduce emissions from aircraft by how much by 2050 compared to 2005?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Commercial aviation is responsible for 2% of global carbon emission. In the year 2009, the members of IATA (International Air Transport Association) had drawn a pledge to:

1. Halve the carbon emission due to aircraft by 2050, relative to emission of 2005

2. To make growth of industry carbon neutral by 2020

3. To cut CO₂ emission by 1.5% per year till 2020

To achieve these targets, a four pillar action plan was created.
