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.

How many board feet of lumber are needed assuming 200 lin. Ft. of 2""x 6"" lumber a. 12 b. 16.67 c. 120 d. 200
Svetach [21]

Answer:

B) 16.67

Explanation:

If the dimension of one lumber is 2" × 6", the total area of one lumber will be 12inch²

If the total board feet of lumber there is 200in, therefore the total board of lumber that will be needed is 200/12 which gives 16.67 lumbers

A child on a swing sweeps out a distance of 45 ft on the first pass. If she is allowed to continue swinging until she​ stops, an
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

Here in each swing the distance sweeps by the swing is half of the initial distance that it will move

So here we can say that total distance in whole motion is  given as

d = 45 + \frac{45}{2} + \frac{45}{4} + \frac{45}{8}..........

since it is half of the distance that it will move in each swing so it would be a geometric progression with common ratio of 1/2

so sum of such GP is given by the formula

S = \frac{a}{1 - r}

d = \frac{45}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}

d = 90 ft
