why are incandescent lights fo inefficient?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs are extremely inefficient because 90% of the energy is wasted as heat, with only 10% being converted to visible light. This gives incandescent bulbs a luminous efficiency rating of around 2%. Ultimately, incandescent bulbs perform better as heaters than as light sources.

A gun fires a bullet horizontally with a velocity of 90 m/s from a tower. Neglecting air resistance, how far will the bullet travel horizontally in 4 seconds?​

Answers

Answer:

The distance covered along the horizontal axis is [tex]s = 360 \ m[/tex]

The distance covered along the vertical  axis is  [tex]h = 78.4 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The horizontal velocity is  [tex]u_x = 90 \ m/s[/tex]

     The time considered is  [tex]t = 4 \ s[/tex]

Generally the distance which the bullet will cover in the horizontal direction for the given time is  mathematically represented as

    [tex]s = u_xt + \frac{1}{2}* at^2[/tex]

Here a is the acceleration along the horizontal direction and the value is  [tex]a = 0 \ m/s^2[/tex]

So

     [tex]s = 90 * 4 + \frac{1}{2}* * 0 * 4^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]s = 360 \ m[/tex]

Generally the distance which the bullet will cover in the vertical  direction for the given time is  mathematically represented as

            [tex]h= u_y t + \frac{1}{2}* gt^2[/tex]

Here  [tex]u_y[/tex] is the initial  velocity of the bullet along the vertical axis and the value is  [tex]u_y = 0 \ m/s[/tex]

             [tex]h = 0 * 4 + \frac{1}{2}* 9.8 *4^2[/tex]

=>          [tex]h = 78.4 \ m[/tex]

 

There are three types of friction. ______________ friction occurs when an object is not moving. ______________ friction occurs when an object is moving against another surface. ______________ friction occurs in the case of wheels or other round objects. The amount of friction depends on two things.First, how ______________ the surfaces are; and second, how ______________ the object is. It is ______________ to keep an object moving than to start it moving. This is because static friction is ______________ than sliding friction.

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

[tex]a = \frac{200}{3} \\ = 66.66666...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

A 35kg cannonball sits at rest on a flat level surface. What is the normal force exerted on the cannon ball. Use -9.8 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity.

A. -343N

B. 44.8N

C. 25.2N

D. 343N

Answers

Answer:

a) N = 343 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember Newton's third law, which tells us that the force acting on a body is equal to the normal reaction force of equal magnitude but acting in the opposite direction.

[tex]N=m*g[/tex]

where:

m = mass = 35 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

[tex]N = 35*9.8\\N= 343 [N][/tex]

Your younger brother gets a new toy car as a present. He winds up the toy, puts it on the ground and watches it accelerate for 5 seconds. You can explain how to find the net force acting on the toy car for the 5 seconds while accelerating by the following:

a
Use a meterstick and stopwatch to measure the distance the car travels for the 5s.
b
Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and at time of 5s .
c
Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a meterstick to measure the distance the car travels for the 5s .
d
Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and a time of 5s . Use a meterstick to determine the distance the car travels for 5s .

Answers

Answer:

b  Use a balance to determine the mass of the car. Use a motion sensor to measure the speed of the car at a time of 0s and at time of 5s .

Explanation:

The right way to measure the net force on the car is take the measurement of its mass then find the speed of the car within the time 0s to 5s.

This is because the net force acting on car is given as;

   Force  = mass x acceleration

By using the balance, the mass is determine

 Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

     Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]  

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now,

         Force  = mass x  [tex]\frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

An object has an x-momentum of 8.5 kilogram-meters/second and a -momentum of 9.8 kilogram meters/second. What Is resultänt
momentum of the object?
OA 15.5 kilogram-meters/second
OB. 14.8 kilogram-meters/second
0c 12.97 kilogram-meters/second
OD. 16.8 kilogram-meters/second

Answers

Answer:

The resultant momentum is 12.97 kg.m/s. Choice: c

Explanation:

Momentum

The momentum is a vector that measures the quantity of motion that an object has. It's also known by the term "mass in motion".

As a vector, it can be expressed by its rectangular components:

[tex]\vec p = p_x\mathbf{i}+p_y\mathbf{j}[/tex]

The magnitude of the momentum is:

[tex]\mid \mid \vec p \mid \mid =\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}[/tex]

The object described has an x-component of:

px=8.5 Kg.m/s

And a y-component of:

py=9.8 Kg.m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the momentum is:

[tex]\mid \mid \vec p \mid \mid =\sqrt{8.5^2+9.8^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mid \mid \vec p \mid \mid =\sqrt{72.25+96.04}[/tex]

[tex]\mid \mid \vec p \mid \mid =\sqrt{168.29}[/tex]

[tex]\mid \mid \vec p \mid \mid =12.97[/tex]

The resultant momentum is 12.97 kg.m/s. Choice: c

There is no effect on the ground

The ground pushes back less strongly than your feet

Answers

Answer:

The ground pushes back on your feet with equal force

Explanation:

When you walk across the ground and push on it with your feet, the ground pushes back on your feet with an equal and opposite force.

This interpretation and knowledge is gotten from Newton's third law of motion.

It states that "action and reaction force are equal and opposite in nature".

The force applied to a body responds with an opposite force in the other direction. Therefore, the reaction force is of equal magnitude but directed in another direction.

Be(s) + 2H, O() → Be(OH)2 (aq) +H,(g)
a
4.00 g
b. 36.0 g
c. 162 g
d 324 g

Answers

Answer:

Answer is: 162 g of beryllium.

Chemical reaction: Be + 2H₂O → Be(OH)₂ + H₂.

m(H₂) = 36,0 g.

m(Be) = ?

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂)

n(H₂) = 36,0 g ÷ 2 g/mol = 18 mol.

from reaction: n(Be) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.

n(Be) = n(H₂) = 18 mol.

m(Be) = n(Be) · M(Be).

n(Be) = 18 mol · 9 g/mol = 162 g.

Answer:

Answer is: 162 g of beryllium.

Chemical reaction: Be + 2H₂O → Be(OH)₂ + H₂.

m(H₂) = 36,0 g.

m(Be) = ?

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂)

n(H₂) = 36,0 g ÷ 2 g/mol = 18 mol.

from reaction: n(Be) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.

n(Be) = n(H₂) = 18 mol.

m(Be) = n(Be) · M(Be).

n(Be) = 18 mol · 9 g/mol = 162 g.
