If the 5,500 J of sound and light is the ONLY useful output
from the phone, then the phone's efficiency is
(5,500J / 10,000J) = 0.55 = 55% .
But the test engineer forgot one little minor almost insignificant detail.
As a test engineer myself, I'd say that he needs to turn in his laptop
and soldering iron, and think about changing his career to a job for
which he may be better suited, like 8 hours a day in a highway toll-booth.
What about that little radio transmitter and receiver inside the phone,
that maintain digital RF communication with the nearest cell tower ?
Without that microscopic radio transceiver ... plus 30 or 40 apps
that are always running unless you shut them off ... the device in your
pocket is essentially a flat rock with one side that sometimes glows.
Answer:C
Explanation: I studied, and C is correct
A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.
Answer:
460.52 s
Explanation:
Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that
dV/dt ∝ V
dV/dt = kV
separating the variables, we have
dV/V = kdt
integrating both sides, we have
∫dV/V = ∫kdt
㏑(V/V₀) = kt
V/V₀ = 
Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V
Since dV/dt = kV
-0.01V = kV
k = -0.01
So, V/V₀ = 
V = V₀
Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀
So, V = 0.1V₀
Thus
V = V₀
0.1V₀ = V₀
0.1V₀/V₀ = 
0.1 = 
to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have
㏑(0.01) = -0.01t
So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01
t = -4.6052/-0.01
t = 460.52 s
