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.

A skier starts from rest down a slope 500.0 M long, the skier accelerates at a constant rate of 2.00 m/s/s, what's the velocity
nevsk [136]
We can use the kinematic equation
(v_f)^2 = (v_i)^2 + 2*a*d
where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance

we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s   [if you are rounding this by significant figures]

A ball is dropped off the side of a bridge. after 1.55 s, how far has it fallen
givi [52]

Answer:

38.64 feet

Explanation:

x=x0 + vx0t + 1/2axt2

x= 0 +  0  + 1/2 X 32.17 ft/sec2 X 1.55 sec2

x = 38.64 feet

A hungry monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 69 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monke
sasho [114]

Answer:

Well if you want to be sure you should just throw it to the ground so then when he lands he can catch it.

If the cannon throws the banana with the same force the monkey falls

(m.g=Fz <=> m.9,81N/kg=...N).

Then the throw will slow down because of the gravitational pull.

Because the banana cannon is selfmade you can choose what mass the bananas in question have, so let that be the same as the monkeys.

The monkey falls with the speed of 9,81m.s => so it takes the monkey 7,1s to land.

If the cannon can shoot the banana at the same speed the monkey falls then they would cross in the middle.

So to do so you need to throw the bananas with a speed of at least 9,81m.s

Soo ... throw them with a force of that is greater then the gravitational pull and things will work out.

I'm sorry I don't know why I wrote all of this irrelevant information it's 2:21 right now and I'm tired.

kind regards
