A typical incandescent light bulb consumes 75 W of power and has a mass of 30 g. You want to save electrical energy by dropping

the bulb from a height great enough so that the kinetic energy of the bulb when it reaches the floor will be the same as the energy it took to keep the bulb on for 1.0 hour. From what height should you drop the bulb, assuming no air resistance and constant g?

Answer:

The height will be 917431.2 m.

Explanation:

Power of bulb = 75 W

Time kept on 1 hr = 60 x 60 = 3600 sec

Energy of bulb = power x time

E = 75 x 3600 = 270000 J

From conservation of energy, kinetic energy of the bulb is equal to the potential energy of the bulb due to its height of fall.

Potential energy = m x g x h

Where g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s2

m = mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

PE = 0.03 x 9.81 x h = 0.2943h

Equating withe the energy of bulb (still obeying energy conservation)

270000 = 0.2943h

h = 270000/0.2943 = 917431.2 m

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J

You are bungee jumping from a bridge. Initially, while you are falling the slack bungee cord isn’t exerting any forces or torque
harina [27]

Answer:

he fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true

Explanation:

Let's pose the solution of this problem, to be able to analyze the firm affirmations.

When the person is falling, the weight acts on them all the time, initially the rope has no force, but at the moment it begins to lash it exerts a force towards the top that is proportional to the lengthening of the rope.

The equation for this part is

                 Fe - W = m a  

                 k x - mg = m a

As the axis of rotation is located at the top where they jump, there is a torque.

What is it

                Fe y - W y = I α

angular and linear acceleration are related

       a = α r

       Fe y - W y = I a / r

In the fall movement we see that both the force is different from zero, and the torque is different from zero.

When analyzing the statements the d is true
