4. What is energy efficiency, and why is increasing it important?

Physics
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: delivering the same (or more) services for less energy — helps protect the environment. When we use less energy, the less energy we need to generate at power plants, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves the quality of our air.

Hope this helps ;)

An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plates and carries a fixed amount of equal butopposite charge on its plat
Basile [38]

Answer:

U_f = (U_o)/2)

Explanation:

The capacitance of a given capacitor is given by the formula;

C = ε_o•A/d

While energy stored in plates capacitor is given as; U_o = Q²/2C

Now,we are told that that all the dimensions of the capacitor plate is doubled. Thus, we now have;

C' = ε_o•4A/2d

Hence, C' = 2C

so capacitance is now doubled

Thus, the final energy stored between the plates of capacitor is given as;

U_f = Q²/2C'

From earlier, we saw that C' = 2C.

Thus;

U_f = Q²/2(2C)

U_f = Q²/4C

Rearranging, we have;

U_f = (1/2)(Q²/2C)

From earlier, U_o = Q²/2C

Hence,

U_f = (1/2)(U_o)

Or

U_f = (U_o/2)

A scientist heats an unknown substance in a closed system. The graph shows the change in temperature over time.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When a substance is changing state, the heat supplied does not result in a rise in temperature. This is why, the heat supplied during change of state is referred to as 'latent heat'.

Latent heat is a heat that causes a change of state without a corresponding rise in temperature. During this time, the intermolecular bonds in the substance are broken.

Change of state will occur as regions in which there is no change in temperature with time such as point D on the graph.

What are scientific theories?
Goryan [66]

A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 68 pm. What is the least uncertainty in any simultane
umka21 [38]

Answer:

\Delta p_x=7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along the x-axis is, \Delta x=68\ pm=68\times 10^{-12}\ m

We need to find the east uncertainty in any simultaneous measurement of the momentum component of this electron.

We know that the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle gives the relation between the uncertainty in position and the momentum of electron as :

\Delta p_x{\cdot}\Delta x\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi }

Putting all the values, we get :

\Delta p_x{\cdot}\ge \dfrac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}\\\\\Delta p_x \ge \dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi \times 68\times 10^{-12}}\\\\\Delta p_x\ge 7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum component of this electrons is greater than 7.75\times 10^{-25}\ kg-m/s.
