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

Which of these could NOT be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
34kurt
The "c) percent efficiency" could not be used to find the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane. There are two formulae that could be used to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane which stated as MA = Length/rise and Wout=Win. MA is the mechanical advantage, Wout is the output force, Win is the input force, and "rise" is the height of the inclined plane<span>.</span>

Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 40 m above the surface of Earth.
melomori [17]

Explanation:

We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.

                 P.E_{1} = mgz_{1}

       P.E_{1} = (\rho V)gz_{1}    

                    = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 3 m^{3} \times 9.7 \times 40 m

                    = 1164000 J

or,                = 1164 kJ         (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.

             \Delta P.E = mg(z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = \rho \times V \times g (z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = 1000 \times 3 \times 9.7 (10 - 40)m

                         = -873000 J

or,                      = -873 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that change in  gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.

At a particular instant, a moving body has a kinetic energy of 295 J and a momentum of magnitude 25.1 kg · m/s.(a)What is the sp
motikmotik

Answer:

a) 23.51 m/s

b) 1.07 kg

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Kinetic energy, K = 295 J

Momentum, p = 25.1 kgm/s

a) The kinetic energy of a body is given as:

K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m = mass of the body and v = speed of the body

We know that momentum is given as:

p = mv

Therefore:

K = 1/2 * pv

=> v = 2K / p

v = (2 * 295) / 25.1 = 23.51 m/s

The velocity of the body at that instant is 23.51 m/s.

b) Momentum is given as:

p = mv

=> m = p / v

m = 25.1 / 23.51  = 1.07 kg

The mass of the body at that instant is 1.07 kg
