Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us

ed” or we say that energy is “wasted,” what is actually happening?

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!

A runner begins from rest at the starting line and travles for 6.5 seconds, a runner reaches a speed of 13.4 m/s what is the run
Butoxors [25]

The acceleration of the runner in the given time is 2.06m/s².

Given the data in the question;

Since the runner begins from rest,

  • Initial velocity; u = 0
  • Final velocity; v = 13.4m/s
  • Time elapsed; t = 6.5s

Acceleration of the runner; a = \ ?

<h3>Velocity and Acceleration</h3>

Velocity is the speed at which an object moves in a particular direction.

Acceleration is simply the rate of change of the velocity of a particle or object with respect to time. Now, we can see the relationship from the First Equation of Motion

v = u + at

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time elapsed.

To determine the acceleration of the runner, we substitute our given values into the equation above.

v = u + at\\\\13.4m/s = 0 + (a * 6.5s)\\\\13.4m/s = a * 6.5s\\\\a = \frac{13.4m/s}{6.5s}\\ \\a = 2.06m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the runner in the given time is 2.06m/s².
