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

Starting from Newton’s law of universal gravitation, show how to find the speed of the moon in its orbit from the earth-moon dis

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 1010.92 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the gravitational force between Earth and Moon

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m=7.349(10)^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.9(10)^{8} m$ is the distance between the Earth and Moon

Asuming the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is a circular orbit, the Earth exerts a centripetal force on the moon, which is equal to $F$ :

$F=m.a_{C}$ (2)

Where $a_{C}$ is the centripetal acceleration given by:

$a_{C}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Being $V$ the orbital velocity of the moon

Making (1)=(2):

$m.a_{C}=G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$ (4)

Simplifying:

$a_{C}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (5)

Making (5)=(3):

$\frac{V^{2}}{r}=G\frac{M}{r^{2}}$ (6)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$ (7)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24} kg)}{3.9(10)^{8} m}}$ (8)

Finally:

$V=1010.92 m/s$

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

How much force is required to accelerate a 9.0-g object at 10000 g's?

Yuki888 [10]

Hey give us m = 9.0 g = 9.0 x 10-3 kg, and a = 10,000 "g's" = 98000 m/s/s so:F = ma = (9.0 x 10-3 kg)(98000 m/s/s) = 882 N = 880 N
