In energy production, possible sources are fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas. Other sources are renewable like hydro, solar and wind. Radioactive elements are also possible sources for nuclear energy. However, energy will always dissipate. Industries could never get 100% of the energy from their sources. In ideal cases like the Carnot engine, we can only get 60% of the energy. That is ideal. In actual, we get even lesser than this for about 40%. 

When the efficiency is 60%, the used energy is 60%, while the wasted energy is 40%. Therefore, the wasted energy is

1000 BTU (0.40) - 400 BTU

The waste energy in the form of electricity is 400 BTU.

One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the flo
yuradex [85]

Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37

Is it possible for an object at rest to have forces acting upon it? Explain
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Yeah

Explanation:

I mean, how about gravity for example! When you draw a free-body diagram, you will almost always have to include gravity. How about normal force, or static friction? There are defintely forces at hand.

What principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits? What prin
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two waves of same frequency and constant phase difference super impose at a point on the screen then due to their superposition we will get different intensity of light at different positions of the screen

This phenomenon of redistribution of energy is known as interference of light.

So at the position of screen where the light intensity is maximum on the screen is known as constructive interference while the positions on the screen where it will get minimum intensity on the screen is known as destructive interference of the light

So correct answer would be

Interference
