efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ energy supplied) × 100

It's easy to use this formula, but we have to know both the useful energy and the energy supplied. The drawing doesn't tell us the useful energy, so we have to find a clever way to figure it out. I see two ways to do it:

Way #1:

We all know about the law of conservation of energy. So we know that the total energy coming out must be 250J, because that's how much energy is going in. The wasted energy is 75J, so the rest of the 250J must be the useful energy . . . (250J - 75J) = 175J useful energy.

(useful energy) / (energy supplied) = (175J) / (250J) = 70% efficiency

================================

Way #2:

How much of the energy is wasted ? . . . 75J wasted

What percentage of the Input is that 75J ? . . . 75/250 = 30% wasted

30% of the input energy is wasted. That leaves the other 70% to be useful energy.

geniusboy [140]

Blue light will bend more than the others because it has a slightly greater refractive index. This is because blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy, meaning it has to slow down more than the others when it hits the water.

Which of the following choices concerning the net magnetic flux through any enclosed surface is true according to Gauss' law for

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

Explanation:

As per Gauss law of magnetism we need to find the net magnetic flux through a closed loop

here we know that net magnetic flux is the scalar product of magnetic field vector and area vector

so here we have

$\int B. dA$ = net magnetic flux

since we know that magnetic field always forms closed loop so if we find the integral over a closed loop

then in that case the value of the close integral must be zero

so correct answer would be

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m
