A CFL bulb has an efficiency of 8.9% and a power of 22 W. How much light energy does the lightbulb produce in 1 second

hjlf

The power that the light is able to utilize out of the supply is only 0.089 of the given.
Power utilized = (0.089)(22 W)
= 1.958 W
= 1.958 J/s
The energy required in this item is the product of the power utilized and the time. That is,
Energy = (1.958 J/s)(1 s) = 1.958 J
Thus, the light energy that the bulb is able to produce is approximately 1.958 J.

Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d

mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

$W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx$

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm

What mass of a material with density rho is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3 )$

Explanation:

We have to make a hollow sphere of inner radius $r_1$ and outer radius $r_2$ .

Then the mass of the material required to make such a sphere would be calculated as:

Total volume of the spherical shell:

$V_t=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_2^3$

And the volume of the hollow space in the sphere:

$V_h=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_1^3$

Therefore the net volume of material required to make the sphere:

$V=V_t-V_h$

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)$

Now let the density of the of the material be $\rho$ .

<u>Then the mass of the material used is:</u>

$m=\rho.V$

$m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3 )$

1. Most PE, because PE is directly proportional to distance (height)
Height: 100 meters
Speed: 0 mph

2. Most KE, because KE is directly proportional to speed
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

3. Most TE, average KE
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

4. The skater gains thermal energy as she goes down the slope, because the speed of the skater increases, so it increases the total kinetic energy of the particles, and makes them vibrate faster, resulting in a higher temperature.
