Why is it impossible to create a perpetual motion machine?

Physics
1 answer:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
8 0

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.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1) 0.51 seconds.

2) 1.45 m/s.

Explanation:

given, height from which cat falls = 1.3 m

we know that, s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at².

here if we consider cat moment only in downward direction,

intial velocity of cat in downward direction , u = 0.

so, time, t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }.

⇒ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.3)}{9.81} } = 0.51 seconds.

t = 0.51 seconds.

now, consider cat moment only in forward direction

s = ut , since acceleration is zero in forward direction

⇒ u = \frac{s}{t}.

so, u = \frac{0.75}{0.51} = 1.45 m/s .

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound
Yanka [14]

The answer is C.

Ionic compounds are those that bring together anions and cations bonded together by ionic bonds. The electrostatic forces of the different charges are significant in the bonds that make them strong hence require high energy to break them (high melting point).  Due to the regular structure of ionic compound that tend to form lattices in solid form, when struck, they shatter along the lines of weakness of the lattice.

A 5.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 24.0 cm. The distance between the image and the mirr
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The answer is 24cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the curved mirrors, a concave type

Given data

Object height h= 5cm

Object distance = 12cm

Focal length f=24cm

Let the image distance be v=?

Applying the formula we have

1/v +1/u= 1/f

Substituting our given data

1/v+1/12=1/24

1/v=1/24-1/12

1/v=1-2/24

1/v=-1/24

v= - 24cm

This implies that the image is on the same side as the object and it is real
