The US English System of measurement grew out of the manner in which people secured measurements using body parts and familiar objects. For example, shorter ground distances were measured with the human foot and longer distances were measured by paces, with one mile being 1,000 paces. Capacities were measured with household items such as cups, pails (formerly called gallons) and baskets.
D. It is personal in style.
Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it.
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.
The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
History is open to ongoing and changing interpretations because changing <span>values limit interpretation.
So your answer is A.</span>
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:
<u>Way #1:</u>
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) = <em>70% efficiency</em>
================================
<u>Way #2: </u>
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 <em>70%</em> to be useful energy.
