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.

Two point charges of +2.50 x 10^-5 C and -2.50 x 10^-5 C are separated by 0.50m. Which of the following describes the force betw

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Q1 = +2.50 x 10^-5C and Q2 = -2.50 x 10^-5C, r = 0.50m, F=?

Using Coulomb's law:

F = 1/(4πE) x Q1 x Q2/ r^2

Where

k= 1/(4πE) = 9 x 10^9Nm2/C2

Therefore,

F = 9x 10^9 x 2.50 x 10^-5 x2.50 x

10^-5/. ( 0.5)^2

F= 5.625/ 0.25

F= 22.5N approximately

F= 23N.

To find the direction of the force: since Q1 is positive and Q2 is negative, the force along Q1 and Q2 is force of attraction.

Hence To = 23N, attractive. C ans.

You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its _____.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its <u>acceleration.</u>

Explanation:

By, Newtons second law, the force applied on an object directly varies with the acceleration caused and the mass of the object.

This is given by :

$F=m\ a$

Where $F$ represents force applied on the object , $m$ represents mass of the object and $a$ represents the acceleration.

In order to calculate force applied on object we require the mass of the object and its acceleration. The force can be calculated by finding the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

NO LINKS PLEASE. brainly to the best answer.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Both energies are related to motion.

mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$
