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.

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

How to do this question
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(a) 10 m/s

(b) 22.4 m/s

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the car when it is at the top of the loop.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and normal force N pushing down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction (towards the center):

∑F = ma

mg + N = mv²/r

At minimum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = mv²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(10 m/s² × 10.0 m)

v = 10 m/s

(b) Energy is conserved.

Initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

½ mv₀² + mgh = ½ mv²

v₀² + 2gh = v²

(10 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (20.0 m) = v²

v = 22.4 m/s

What is your displacement if you walk 100 m north, 20 m east, 30 m south, 50 m west, and then 70 m south?
velikii [3]
Displacement isn't total distance traveled, it's the distance from the original starting point. So the 70 meters South in addition to the 30 meters South would decrease the distance to the North. It would then, instead of being 100 meters North and 100 meters South, there would be zero displacement. Then you take 50-20 to get 30 meters West. Your final displacement is 30 meters.
