What's the formula for efficiency?​
Neko [114]

Answer:

r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

Explanation:

Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

A bullet is fired horizontally at a height of 1.3 meters and a velocity of 950 m/s. How long was the bullet in the air?
seropon [69]

Answer:

<em>The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

It occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h.

The object describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it hits the ground.

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the following equation:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Note it doesn't depend on the initial velocity but on the height.

The bullet is fired horizontally at h=1.3 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 1.3}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2.6}{9.8}}

t = 0.52 s

The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.

1. What are 3 main categories of waste and what is the largest contribution of municipal solid waste?​
Tasya [4]
Organic materials continue to be the largest component of MSW. Paper and paperboard account for 27 percent and yard trimmings and food account for another 28 percent. Plastics comprise about 13 percent; metals make up 9 percent; and rubber, leather, and textiles account for 9 percent.
