Answer:

Chest experiences the friction forces towards right

Explanation:

Friction forces can be defined as a force a body experiences when it is made to slide against the surface. Friction force always acts to stop the the body which is moving. To stop the body, it always acts in the opposite directions to the motion of the body. Therefore, if the treasure chest is dragged across a sandy beach to the left, the frictional forces will act in the right direction.

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min
