In a day, an electrical resistance heater uses 10 kW-h of electricity. In the same day, the heater delivers 9 kW-h of heat to th

e house in which it is located. Is this possible or is this a perpetual motion machine? If so, what kind? Explain your reasoning. (5 points)

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.

A shell is fired from the ground with an initial speed of 1.60 × 103 m/s (approximately five times the speed of sound) at an ini
Volgvan

Answer:

The horizontal range will be 2.55\times 10^5m

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the shell u = 1.6\times 10^3m/sec

Angle of projection = 51°

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find maximum range

Horizontal range in projectile motion is given by

R=\frac{u^2sin2\Theta }{g}=\frac{(1.60\times 10^3)^2sin(2\times 51^{\circ})}{9.81}=2.55\times 10^5m

So the horizontal range will be 2.55\times 10^5m

Determine the amount of time for polonium-210 to decay to one fourth its original quantity. The half-life of polonium-210 is 138
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

276 days

Explanation:

1/4 th of the original means <u><em>2 half lives</em></u>

1 half life = 138 days

So,

2 half lives = 276 days

What would happen if the earth's core was destroyed?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Our atmosphere would be quickly stripped away, much like what apparently happened on Mars after its molten core cooled and solidified. The spinning Earth core is what helps create our magnetic field, without which means no Van Allen Belts, which mean solar radiation becomes more lethal than just sun burn

Two point charges exert a 7.35 N force on each other. What will the force become if the distance between them is increased by a
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer :

New force becomes, F' = 1.83 N

Explanation:

Let two point charges exert a force of 7.35 N force on each other. The electric force between two charges is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

q_1\ and\ q_2 are charges

r is the distance between charges if the distance between them is increased by a factor of 2, r' = 2r

New force is given by :

F'=\dfrac{kq^2}{r'^2}

F'=\dfrac{kq^2}{(2r)^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 7.35

F' = 1.83 N

So, the new force between charges will be 1.83 N. Therefore, this is the required solution.
