the candle had 350 J of energy in the chemical store. As it burned, 250 J was transferred by lighting to the surrounding

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Efficiency = 71%

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Output energy = 250 Joules

Input energy = 350 Joules

To find efficiency;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; energy}{In-put \; energy} * 100$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Efficiency = \frac {250}{350} * 100$

$Efficiency = 0.7143 * 100$

Efficiency = 71.43 ≈ 71%

Therefore, the efficiency of the candle is 71 percent.

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

A climber pulls herself 8 meters upwards with a force of 150 Newtons. If it takes her 16 seconds to cover the 8 meters, how much

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

P = 75 W

Explanation:

given,

Distance, L = 8 m

Force,F = 150 N

Time, t = 16 s

Work by the climber

Work done = Force x displacement

W = F. L

W = 150 x 8

W = 1200 J

We know,

$Power =\dfrac{Work\ done}{time}$

$P =\dfrac{1200}{16}$

P = 75 W

Hence, Power climber is using to climb is equal to 75 W.

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.
