A watt is a unit of energy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J ⋅ s − 1 ) J⋅s−1) . A 40.0 W 40.0

W incandescent lightbulb produces about 5.00 % 5.00% of its energy as visible light. Assuming that the light has an average wavelength of 510.0 nm, calculate how many such photons are emitted per second by a 40.0 W 40.0 W incandescent lightbulb.

Answer:

5.12 x 10^18 photon per second

Explanation:

Power of bulb, P = 40 W

%5 of this energy is visible, so the visible energy = E = 5% of 40 = 2 J/s

Wavelength of light, λ = 510 nm = 510 x 10^-9 m

let the number of photons per second is n.

Energy of each photon,

E' = hc / λ

E' = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{510\times 10^{-9}}

E' = 3.9 x 10^-19 J

number of photons per second, n = E / E'

n=\frac{2}{3.9\times 10^{-19}}

n = 5.12 x 10^18 per second

So, the number of photons per second are 5.12 x 10^18.

Why is acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always zero?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

If an object is moving with a constant velocity, then by definition it has zero acceleration. So there is no net force acting on the object. The total work done on the object is thus 0 (that's not to say that there isn't work done by individual forces on the object, but the sum is 0 ).

Explanation:

In the middle, when the object was changing position at a constant velocity, the acceleration was 0. This is because the object is no longer changing its velocity and is moving at a constant rate.

An unknown additional charge q3 is now placed at point B, located at coordinates (0 m, 15.0 m ). Find the magnitude and sign of
Finger [1]

The first part of the question is:

Two point charges are placed on the x axis. (Attached file)The first charge, q1 = 8.00 nC , is placed a distance 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.00 nC , is placed a distance 9.00 m from the origin along the negative x axis.

Answer:

q3 = +0.3nc

Explanation:

Due to the vector symbols in the solution, I've decided to attach the explanation to this answer.
