Describe a single measurement that you could make that shows that a kettle is less than 100% efficient (providing evidence that

thermal energy is also lost to the environment in addition to heating the water inside. (hint: what measurements did you take last week

Answer:

As you haven't explained what measurements you took before solving this problem, I will explain the general procedure to evaluate the efficiency of a kettle. I hope it helps you. I´ll send an attachement file with the full answer, since I couldn't write it here.

I assume that the material that is going to be heated in the kettle is water.

1- You have to boil water in it and take the time it takes to its boiling point (in seconds).  

2- You have to evaluate the amount of energy the water absorbed Q with the efficiency formula which I explain in the attachement file.

3- Divide Q by the time it took to bring the water to boiling so you can have the power it consumed.

4- You divide the last value you obtained by the Kettles's power rating.  

5- Multiply the last value by 100 to obtain a percentage value of efficiency.

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ration of a machine's useful work, in this case how much energy the water absorbed to get to its boiling point divided by the time it took to get to this point, and the total energy expended, in this case the kettles's power rating.

Suppose you have a bucket of sand containing 2.5 billion grains of sand (2.5 x 10 grains). Most of the grains of sand are white,
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

a. 5.0 x 10⁷ brown grains = 50 million

b. 5.0 x 10³ brown grains = 5000

Explanation:

The concentration of 2 % brown sand means we have for every 100 grains of sand 2 are brown.

We need to calculate the number of brown sand in the bucket as follows:

= 2.5 x 10⁹  billion grains of sand x  (2 brown grains/ 100 grains of sand)

= 5.0 x 10⁷ brown grains

Likewise if the concentration of brown sand is 2.0 ppm, it mean that we have 2 brown grain per every million grains of sand.

= 2.5 x 10⁹ billion grains of sand x ( 2.0 brown grains/10⁶ grains of sand )

= 5.0 x 10³ brown grains

The answers make sense since a concentration of 1 part per million is ten thousandths of  a 1 percent

Compare and contrast Lamarck's and Darwin's theories of change over time.36a. What are the similarities? What are the difference
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Lanark proposed a theory of evolution hinged on use and disuse of body parts. This is a theory that upholds the transfer of acquired traits to offsprings. Darwin's theory of evolution was rather based on natural selection or 'survival of the fittest'. Darwin's theory has more evidence backing it compared to Lamarck's theory. The field of genetics which appeared long after Darwin's death confirmed that inherited traits are indeed passed from parents to offsprings. These inherited traits are usually those that give organisms an edge over others in their environment.

Earthworms are brown and not green or beige because, the brown earthworms have the same colour as the soil and are better enabled to escape from predators. From Darwin's theory, the brown earthworms are the 'fittest' hence they survive in their environment. Lamarck's theory may approach the matter from the point that earthworms move with their bodies on the soil more frequently, hence they 'acquired' the brown colour and passed it on to their offspring.

From the activity, "Hiding in the Background", individual worms spent their entire life cycle in either green or beige colour. Their colour didn't change as a result of the environment where they lived, rather the green earthworms were more in number, not particularly because of any specific changes the earthworms themselves had undergone, but because most of their predators concentrated on eating the beige worms. As a result of this, there were many green worms when the next generation began compared to the number of beige worms. Hence, there were more green earthworms.
