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.

a bird flies 25.0 m in the direction 55° east of south to its nest. the bird then flies 75.0 m in the direction 55° west of nort
son4ous [18]

The northward components of the resultant displacement is 40.96 m and the westward components of the resultant displacement of the bird from its nest is 28.68 m.

<h3>Displacement of the bird</h3>

The displacement of the bird is the change in the position of the bird.

<h3>Vertical component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vy₁ = -25 m  x   sin(55)

Vy₁ = -20.48 m

Vy₂ = 75 m   x    sin(55)

Vy₂ = 61.44 m

Total vertical displacement = 61.44 m - 20.48 m = 40.96 m

<h3>Horizontal component of the bird's displacement </h3>

Vx₁ = -25 m  x   cos(55)

Vx₁ = -14.34 m

Vx₂ = 75 m   x    cos(55)

Vx₂ = 43.02 m

Total horizontal displacement = 43.02 m - 14.34 m = 28.68 m

All galaxies follow the law of gravity. True or False
Juliette [100K]

The answer is true. All the galaxies in the universe follow the law of gravity.

<span>Based from the book, It's about Time: the Illusion of Einstein’s Time Dilation Explained, </span>

Einstein had explained that all the heavenly bodies in the universe follow the same scientific laws that are similar to our solar system. The stars and planets are held by the principles of inertia and gravity

An airplane travels 4000m in 16 seconds on a heading of 35 whats is its velocity
Marizza181 [45]

In the question, you just gave a complete and detailed
description of the plane's velocity vector:

       4,000/16  meters/second , heading 35 degrees .

You might want to simplify the speed and make it a unit rate,
but otherwise, it's perfect.

         250 meters/second, heading 35 degrees .
