A 40W lamp wastes 34 J of energy every second by heating its surroundings.

Physics
1 answer:
Artemon [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

15\%.

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine is the percentage of energy input that was turned into useful energy.

The power rating of this lamp is 40\; \rm W (same as 40\; \rm J \cdot s^{-1},) meaning that 40\; \rm J of energy is supplied to this lamp every second.

The question states that 34\; \rm J out of that 40\; \rm J of energy input would be turned into heat, which is not useful energy output in this scenario. Assuming that all other forms of energy loss is negligible. The rest of the (40\; \rm J - 34\; \rm J) = 6\; \rm J of energy supplied to this lamp would be turned into useful energy output.

Thus, every second, this lamp would receive 40\; \rm J of energy input and would outputs 6\; \rm J of useful work. The efficiency of this lamp would be:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Efficiency} \\ =\; & \frac{\text{Useful energy out}}{\text{Total energy in}} \times 100\% \\ =\; & \frac{6\; \rm J}{40\; \rm J} \times 100\%\\ =\; &15\% \end{aligned}.

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

The LR5 is the specialist submarine for underwater rescue. The average density of seawater is 1028 kg/ m3.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

P = 7196 [kPa]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the expression that defines the pressure depending on the height of water column.

P = dens*g*h

where:

dens = 1028 [kg/m^3]

g = 10 [m/s^2]

h = 700 [m]

Therefore:

P = 1028*10*700

P = 7196000 [Pa]

P = 7196 [kPa]

How much energy is needed to raise a 50kg block up from the ground to a height of 5 meters?​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    Pe = 2452.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

height = 5 m

gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Process

The energy of this process is Potential energy which is proportional to the mass of the body, the gravity and the height of the body.

           Pe = mgh

Substitution

           Pe = (50)(5)(9.81)

Simplification

           Pe = 2452.5 J

A particle is moving with (SHM) of period 8.0s and amplitude5.0m
nadezda [96]

Answer:

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Given the description of period and amplitude, the SHM could be described by:

f(x)=5\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and its angular velocity can be calculated doing the derivative:

f(x)=5\, \,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)\\f'(x)=5\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

And therefore, the tangential velocity is calculated by multiplying this expression times the radius of the movement (3 m):

velocity(x)=15\,\frac{\pi}{4}\,cos(\frac{\pi}{4}x)  and is given in m/s.

Then the maximum speed is obtained when the cosine function becomes "1", and that gives:

Max speed = \frac{15\, \pi}{4} \,\, \frac{m}{s}

The acceleration is found from the derivative of the velocity expression, and therefore given by:

acceleraton(x)=-15\,\frac{\pi^2}{16}\,sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)

and the maximum of the function will be obtained when the sine expression becomes "-1", which will render:

Max acceleration = \frac{15\,\pi^2}{16} \,\,\frac{m}{s^2}
