Answer:

Formula  E(J) = P(W) × t(s)

3600 Seconds in an hour

7200 seconds in two hours.

watts = 100

100 x 7200 = 720000

Explanation:

Watts to joules calculation

The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the power P in watts (W), times the time period t in seconds (s):

E(J) = P(W) × t(s)

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. These conversions can be shown in Sankey diagrams. Efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy is converted. Attachment 1

Modern energy-saving lamps and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) work in a different way. They transfer a greater proportion of electrical energy as light energy. Attachment 2

From the diagram, you can see that much less electrical energy is transferred, or 'wasted', as heat energy from the energy-saving lamp. It's more efficient than the filament lamp.

Calculating efficiency

The efficiency of a device, such as a lamp, can be calculated:

efficiency = useful energy out ÷ total energy in (for a decimal efficiency)

or

efficiency = (useful energy out ÷ total energy in) × 100 (for a percentage efficiency)

The efficiency of the filament lamp is 10 ÷ 100 = 0.10 (or 10%). This means that 10 per cent of the electrical energy supplied is transferred as light energy (90 per cent is transferred as heat energy).

The efficiency of the energy-saving lamp is 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75 (or 75 per cent). This means that 75 per cent of the electrical energy supplied is transferred as light energy (25 per cent is transferred as heat energy).

Note that the efficiency of a device will always be less than 100 per cent. Occasionally the power is shown in W instead of the energy in J. The equations are the same – just substitute power for energy:

efficiency = useful power out ÷ total power in (for a decimal efficiency)

or

efficiency = (useful power out ÷ total power in) × 100 (for a percentage efficiency)

This is the Sankey diagram for a typical energy-saving lamp:

you can find the resistance using this formula

R = V ÷ I    

where; V is the potential difference in volts, V

I is the current in amperes (amps), A

R is the resistance in ohms, Ω

Given;

V = 230V

Power, P = 100W

time, t = 2hrs = 7200s

from,

P = IV

and Energy, E= Pt

E = 100*7200

E = 720000 Joules

E = 720KJ

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 10.0 m
adell [148]

Answer:

5.565 V

Explanation:

Radius of coil of generator=r=0.14 m

Length of wire=l=10 m

Magnetic field,B=0.24 T

Angular speed,\omega=34rad/s

We have to find the peak emf of the generator.

N=\frac{l}{2\pi r}=\frac{10}{2\pi\times 0.14}=11

A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.14)^2=0.062m^2

Peak(maximum) induced emf of generator=E_{max}=NBA\omega

Using the formula

E_{max}=11\times 0.24\times 0.062\times 34

E_{max}=5.565 V

If Mrs. Reichelt throws a chromebook, because it won't login correctly, with a force of 8N, and the chromebook accelerates at 5m
suter [353]

Answer:

1.6 kg

Step-by-step Solution:

Since Force = mass × acceleration we have:

F = 8N

a= 5 m/s^2

m = ?

By plugging the values above into F=ma we obtain:

F=ma\\\\8=m(5)\\\\\frac{8}{5}=\frac{m(5)}{5}\\\\m=\frac{8}{5}=1.6

Therefore, the Chromebook has a mass of 1.6 kilograms.
