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 plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s
