We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside

r this energy transformation diagram. Assume that the energy input in this case is chemical potential energy and the useful energy output is kinetic energy, specifically a small fan to keep you cool. The diagram also shows how to calculate the efficiency of the fan. If the law of conservation of energy holds true, explain why the efficiency of the fan is not 100%.

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

Answer:

Due to energy loss.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only change its states from one energy state to another.

The efficiency is defined as the ratio of output work to the input work. The efficiency of the fan is not 100%. Because some of the energy is lost in the form of heat and sound. No machine is 100% efficient. There is always some loss of energy takes place.

Why is the reflection of a wave at a free boundary different from reflection at a fixed boundary??
Gnoma [55]

Here is the main thing is medium. In the free boundary wave face the air medium, but in a fixed boundary wave face different medium. The change of medium effect on the change of the reflection of wave.

a motorcar is moving with a velocity of 108 km / h and it takes 4s to stop after the brakes are applied calculate the force exer
k0ka [10]

Answer: - 7500N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial Velocity of car = 108km/hr

Time taken to stop after applying brakes = 4s

Mass of passengers in car = 1000kg

Force exerted by the brakes on the car =?

After 4s, then final Velocity (V) = 0

Initial Velocity (u) of the car = 108km/hr

108km/hr = (108 × 1000)m ÷ (3600)s = 30m/s

Force exerted = mass(m) × acceleration(a)

Acceleration of car = Change in Velocity with time

a = (v - u) / t

a = (0 - 30) / 4

a = - 30/ 4

a = - 7.5m/s^2

Therefore,

Force exerted = mass(m) × acceleration(a)

Force exerted = 1000kg × (-7.5)m/s^2

Force exerted = - 7500N

Is kirchoff's law applicable for ac circuits?
SIZIF [17.4K]
<span>Kirchhoff's laws apply to AC circuits to either two cases: instantaneousneous values of currents and voltages or to complex values of currents and voltages. However, this never applies to: rms values of currents and voltages. Kirchoff's law relates to the current, voltage and resistance to multiple nodes</span>

What is the iodide ion concentration in a solution if the addition of an excess of 0.100 m pb(no3)2 to 42.9 ml of the solution p
Katen [24]
Moles Pbl2 =  0.8628 g  :  461.01 g/mol   = 0.001871

moles I = 2 x  0.001871 = 0.003742

[I-] = 0.003742/ 0.0429

= 0.0872 M
