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}

an astronaut on an eva has wandered dangerously far away from the shuttle. she has also exhausted all the fuel in her jet pack.
V125BC [204]

The conservation of the momentum allows to find the result of how the astronaut can return to the spacecraft is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

The momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of the body, for isolated systems the momentum  is conserved. If we define the system as consisting of the astronaut and the evo propellant, this system is isolated and the internal forces become zero. Let's find the moment in two moments.

Initial instant. Astronaut and thrust together.

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. The astronaut now the thruster in the opposite direction of the ship.

       m_f = m v + M v '

where m is propellant mass and M the astronaut mass.

As the moment is preserved.

       0 = m v + M v ’

      v ’= - \frac{m}{M} \ v  

We can see that the astronaut's speed is in the opposite direction to the propeller, that is, in the direction of the ship.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by the relationship between the masses.

In conclusion, using the conservation of the momentun we can find the result of how the astronaut can return to the ship is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

# 7 the answer is 4) because you need opposites in order to attract

# 8 I'm going to guess it is 4) because electricity is needed in order a light bolt to work.(don't take my word for this one I'm not sure but, the other answer are correct)

# 9  the answer is 4) because the comb dose collect negative charges from the hair in order to make the hair have positive charge.


Hope this helped : )

Len [333]

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

Atoms are happy when they will not react with other elements while having a full outside ring of electrons because this makes them to be noble.

A stable atom possesses full outside ring of electrons while unstable one does not. So, they are happy also because of stability.
