Answer:

It is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine because some of the energy will always be lost in the conversion and therefore it will eventually stop.

Correct Answer : Option B

Explanation:

The perpetual motion machine is impossible machine as it is hypothetical working machine which would be in motion for an indefinite time in continuity of the motion. The continuity of motion for an indefinite time would mean that the working principle of the machine would never allow the dissipation of energy from the machine and all the machine would ultimately reserve all the energy and be converting it into forms without any loss.

This working principle is violation of first and second laws of thermodynamics and hence a machine will eventually lose some of its energy in every conversion of the working cycle and hence there will be a time where the machine would be stopped, and hence a perpetual motion machine cannot be made.

You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx$

$x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}$

$x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}$

x = 0.037 meters

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A reactor operating at 1 MW is scrammed by instantaneous insertion of $5.00 of negative reactivity. Approximately how long does

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

time is 3333.33 min or 55.55 hr

Explanation:

given data

reactor operating = 1 MW

negative reactivity = $5

power = 1 miliwatt

to find out

how long does it take

solution

we know here power coefficient that is

power coefficient = $\frac{10^{6} }{10^{6} }$

power coefficient = 1

so time required to reach power is

power = reactivity × time / power coefficient + reactor operating

1 × $10^{-3}$ = -5 t / 1 + 1 × $10^{6}$

5t = $10^{6}$ - $10^{-3}$

t = 199999.99 sec

so time is 3333.33 min or 55.55 hr

A point P1 is located by the vector A = (3.74)î + (1.64)ĵ and a point P2 is located by the vector B = (1.60)î + (3.66)ĵ. The vec

seropon [69]

Answer:

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$

Explanation:

The vector that point from point P1 to point P2 its found simply by taking the vector at which point P2 its located and subtracting the vector at which point P1 its located:

$\vec{C} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}$

So:

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ , \ 3.66 \ ) - ( \ 3.74 \ , \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ - \ 3.74 \ , \ 3.66 \ - \ 1.64 \ )$

$\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )$
