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

Physics
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
4 0

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

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. how long does h
noname [10]
The shot putter should get out of the way before the ball returns to the launch position.

Assume that the launch height is the reference height of zero.
u = 11.0 m/s, upward launch velocity.
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

The time when the ball is at the reference position (of zero) is given by
ut - (1/2)gt² = 0
11t - 0.5*9.8t² = 0
t(11 - 4.9t) = 0
t = 0 or t = 4.9/11 =  0.45 s

t = 0 corresponds to when the ball is launched.
t = 0.45 corresponds to when the ball returns to the launch position.

Answer: 0.45 s

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou
kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}  (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T} (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite (1.50x10^{7} m) and the Earth radius (6.38x10^{6} m) :

r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m

r = 21.38x10^{6}m

Then, equation 2 can be used:

T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs} ⇒ 31140 s

v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}

v = 4313 m/s

Finally equation 1 can be used:

a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}    

a = 0.87 m/s^{2}

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is 0.87 m/s^{2}
