Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the fl

ash lasts for 1675s with an average light power output of 2.70 x 105 W . (a) If the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient ( the rest of the energy goes to thermal energy), how much energy must be stored in the capacitor for one flash

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J

The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The depth is 5.15 m.

Explanation:

Lets take the depth of the pool = h m

The atmospheric pressure ,P = 101235 N/m²

The area of the top = A m²

The area of the bottom =  a m²

Given that A= 1.5 a

The force on the top of the pool = P A

The total pressure on the bottom = P + ρ g h

ρ =Density of the  water = 1000 kg/m³

The total pressure at the bottom of the pool =  (P + ρ g h) a

The bottom and the top force is same

(P + ρ g h) a = P A

P a +ρ g h a =  P A

ρ g h a =  P A - P a

h=\dfrac{P ( A-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5 a-a)}{\rho g a}

h=\dfrac{P ( 1.5- 1)}{\rho g}

h=\dfrac{101235 ( 1.5- 1)}{1000\times 9.81}\ m

h=5.15 m

The depth is 5.15 m.

A steel ball of mass 50 g is rolled from the left toward a ball of lead of mass 500 g. The steel ball is traveling with a veloci
alina1380 [7]

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
