Answer:

The heater is not a perpetual motion machine.

Explanation:

A perpetual motion machine is a machine that can run forever without any energy inputs. That is, it delivers the same amount of energy as it uses. Such a machine is almost hypothetical because it is opposite to the second law of thermodynamics.

The heater mentioned in the question is not a perpetual motion machine because it delivers less energy than it requires. It uses 10 kW-h of electricity to produce 9 kW-h of heat according to the question.

Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an ejected electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
bearhunter [10]
This is related to the energy carried by photons of light the energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light since red light has a lower frequency then violet light and photons of red light carry less energy than the photons of violet light as a result the red protons eject electrons that have less energy than the ejected electrons by Violet photons

Tremendous energy is released by nuclear reactions is a measure of the energy required to bond the nucleus together. Where does
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fission is the opposite of fusion and releases energy only when heavy nuclei are split. As noted in Fusion, energy is released if the products of a nuclear reaction have a greater binding energy per nucleon than the parent nuclei.

The amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only 0.1 percent of the original nuclei is converted to energy. Daughter nucleus, energy, and particles such as neutrons are released as a result of the reaction
