12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto

r to drive a generator and then use part of the electric power generated to power the electromotor while using the rest to power his home. what would you tell him?

I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.

Explanation:

My friend's new idea about solving the energy crisis will not be successful as we cannot create energy out of nowhere and destroy it. Energy can only be transferred into some other form of energy. This is also called the "perpetual motion machine of the first kind" which is not possible according to the 1st law of thermodynamics. Also his idea to drive the generator with the electromotor and then power both the electromotor and rest power his house is also impossible the electromotor has to reject some of the energy to the universe in terms of heat or sound. Again this violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics which states that any machine cannot transfer all the energy to perform work without rejecting any. This is the "perpetual motion machine of the second type" which is also not possible.

Answer:

C. Fill two identical pots with equal volumes of salt water and tap water and use a stopwatch to determine the time it takes each pot to boil.

Explanation:

<u>A) is incorrect</u> because Peter should have the same testing environment for both of his experiments.

He should choose the same method of boiling the salt water and tap water because the stovetop and the microwave could also affect the results and make them unreliable.

<u>B) is incorrect</u> because Peter should not estimate the time it takes the salt water and tap water to boil.

Peter should measure and record the amount of time that it takes these substances to boil in order to have an accurate, valid experimental thesis.

<u>C) is correct</u> because Peter uses the same volume of salt water and tap water, fills them into two identical pots, and uses a stopwatch to determine the amount of time it takes each pot to boil.

The stopwatch makes the experiment more valid and accurate compared to the previous methods, and the identical pots and amounts of water help this experiment become even more precise.

<u>D) is incorrect</u> because the variables in the experiment are not controlled amounts and will therefore produce an inaccurate and invalid experiment.

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

F_1=2k\times d

case 2:

F_2=2k\times 2d

therefore, \frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

An airplane awaiting departure is cleared to takeoff, its accelerates down a runway at 3.20m/ s2 for 32.8s until it finally lift
stich3 [128]

The final velocity before takeoff is 104.96 m / s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The last velocity of a given object over some time defines the final velocity. The final velocity of the object is given by the product of acceleration and time and adding this product to the initial velocity.

To calculate the final velocity,

                          V = u + at

where v represents the final velocity,

           u represents the initial velocity,

           a represents the acceleration

            t represents the time taken.

                            v = 0 + (3.20)\times( 32.8)

                            v   = 104.96 m / s.

If the speed of an object is tripled, its kinetic energy will be
Savatey [412]

Answer:

if the speed of the object triples the kinetic energy becomes nine times the initial kinetic energy. If the speed of an object changes by a factor k, the change in the kinetic energy is of a factor k^2.

A basketball player standing under the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v₀ = 3.25 m/s from 2.5 m a
matrenka [14]

Answer: 0.53m

Explanation:

According to the equation of motion v²= v₀²+2as

Since the body is launched upward, the final velocity at the maximum height will be "zero" since the body will momentarily be at rest at the maximum height i.e v = 0

Initial velocity given (v₀) = 3.25 m/s

The body is also under the influence of gravity but the acceleration due to gravity will be negative being an upward force (a = -g) and the distance (s) will serve as our maximum height (h)

The equation of motion will.now become

V = v₀² -2gh

Where v = 0 v₀ = 3.25m/s g = 10m/s h = ?

0 = 3.25² - 2(10)h

0 = 10.56 - 20h

-10.56 = -20h

h = 10.56/20

h = 0.53m

Therefore, the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point that the basketball will achieve is 0.53m
