What is the efficacy of a 60.0 W incandescent lightbulb that produces 830 lumens?

1 answer:

7 0

η = 13.8 lm/W. The luminous efficacy of a incandescent lightbulb that produces 830 lumens and consumed a power of 60 W is 13.8 lm/W.

The luminous efficacy of a light source is the relationship between the luminous flux (in lumens) emitted by a light source and the power (in watts). The luminous efficacy of a light source or luminous efficiency measures the part of electrical energy that is used to illuminate and is obtained by dividing the luminous flux emitted by the electrical power consumed. Luminous efficiency is expressed in lumens per watt (lm / W). It is given by the relation:

η = F / P. Where F is the luminous flux, and P is the power consumed by the light source.

The efficacy of a 60.0 W incandescent lightbulb that produces 830 lm is:

η = 830 lm / 60 W

η = 13.8 lm/W

A rollercoaster car has 2500 J of potential energy and 160 J of

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

$E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]$

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.
