Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.

A hairdryer uses 1500 J of electrical energy in 1 second. The hairdryer changes 1300 J of this to useful thermal energy in 1 sec
Katarina [22]

200 J of energy is wasted by the hair dryer.

Steps

  • The hairdryer is provided with 1500 J of electrical energy per second
  • Of this 1500 J, 1300 J of energy is actually used and converted to useful thermal energy per second
  • The remaining energy, 1500 - 1300 = 200 J is dissipated

Dissipated energy

  • The energy that is not efficiently transported or changed is wasted energy.
  • We cannot create or destroy energy.
  • An employable type of energy is created through transformation.
  • Only a portion of energy that is changed or transferred can be done so in a way that is helpful.

Thus, 200 J of energy is wasted by the hair dryer.
