Answer:

We know that potential energy of a body;

= mass(m)× gravitational acceleration(g) × height(h)

Lets find out the mass of the body

P.E. = mgh

=> 6500J = mass × 9.8m/s^2 × 12m

=>6500J = mass × ( 9.8 × 12 ) × ( m/s^2 × m)

=> 6500 Nm = m × 117.6 × m^2 / s^2

=> 6500/117.6 Ns^2/m = mass [°.° Ns^2/m = kg]

=> 55.272 Kg = mass

Therefore the mass of the body = 55.272 kg ~ <em>6</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>g</em><em> </em>(Ans)

Hope it helps you

A 40W lamp wastes 34 J of energy every second by heating its surroundings.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

15\%.

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine is the percentage of energy input that was turned into useful energy.

The power rating of this lamp is 40\; \rm W (same as 40\; \rm J \cdot s^{-1},) meaning that 40\; \rm J of energy is supplied to this lamp every second.

The question states that 34\; \rm J out of that 40\; \rm J of energy input would be turned into heat, which is not useful energy output in this scenario. Assuming that all other forms of energy loss is negligible. The rest of the (40\; \rm J - 34\; \rm J) = 6\; \rm J of energy supplied to this lamp would be turned into useful energy output.

Thus, every second, this lamp would receive 40\; \rm J of energy input and would outputs 6\; \rm J of useful work. The efficiency of this lamp would be:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Efficiency} \\ =\; & \frac{\text{Useful energy out}}{\text{Total energy in}} \times 100\% \\ =\; & \frac{6\; \rm J}{40\; \rm J} \times 100\%\\ =\; &15\% \end{aligned}.

Explanation:

Start with what you know and list your knowns and unknowns

F = ma

F= 3N

m = 6kg

a =?

3N = 6kg x a

solve for a

3N / 6kg = a
