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.

Answer:

This could represent something like sliding a small rock across an icy lake.

Explanation:

A 20N force of gravity (weight), and 20N normal force exerted back onto the object imply it is on the ground and has no vertical motion. There is a net force of 0N

An 80N force to the left and a 5N force to the right create a net force of 75N to the left. This means that there is a force acting on the object that makes it accelerate to the left. 80N represents a push or pull force and 5N represents a relatively small frictional force due to the object being slid on a surface such as steel or in this case ice.

A simple pendulum on the surface of Earth is found to undergo 15.0 complete small‑amplitude oscillations in 8.75 s. Find the pen
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Length of the Pendulum is 14.4 cm

Explanation:

Time period of simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} } \\

time taken for one oscillation is

T=\frac{time taken}{oscillations} \\T=\frac{8.75}{15} \\T=0.583 s

Pendulum length on the earth surface is

L=\frac{T^2g}{4\pi^2 }\\L=\frac{0.583\times 9.8}{4\pi^2 } \\L=0.144 m

Length of the Pendulum is 14.4 cm

An electromagnetic flowmeter is useful when it is desirable not to interrupt the system in which the fluid is flowing (e.g. for
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<em>2 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as

E = Blv

where E is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V

l is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m

v is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?

B is the magnetic field = 0.120 T

substituting, we have

2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x v

2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x v

v = 2.88/1.44 = <em>2 m/s</em>
