An inventor claims to have developed a resistance heater that supplies 1.2 kWh of energy to a room for each kWh of electricity i

t consumes. Is this a reasonable claim, or is it true that the inventor has developed a perpetual-motion machine

Answer:

if we are to go by the first law of thermodynamics, the Inventors claims are not reasonable.

The inventor has developed a perpetual-motion machine { any device that violates the first law of thermodynamics}

Explanation:

Given that;

energy supplied to a room Qh= 1.2 kWh

for each for each kWh of electricity it consumes, i.e work input W = 1 kWh

W know that; the first law of thermodynamics says energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can flow from one body to another;

which means ∑Q should or must be equal to ∑W;  ∑Q = ∑W

but in the given system; Qh⇒1.2 kWh is NOT equal to W⇒1 kWh

i.e Qh⇒1.2 kWh ≠ W⇒1 kWh

which simply means his device create energy and that violate the first law of thermodynamics.

Therefore, if we are to go by the first law of thermodynamics, the Inventors claims are not reasonable.

The inventor has developed a perpetual-motion machine { any device that violates the first law of thermodynamics}

Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of ene
Over [174]

Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 108 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately
exis [7]

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n=\frac{c}{v}

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52
