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}

** URGENT** The voltage across the primary winding is 350,000 V, and the voltage across the secondary winding is 17,500 V. If th
Vlad [161]

As we know that in transformers we have

\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}

here we know that

V_s = 17,500 Volts

V_p = 350,000 Volts

N_s = 600 coils

now from above equation we will have

\frac{17500}{350000} = \frac{600}{N_p}

N_p = 600\times \frac{350000}{17500}

N_p = 12000 coils

1. How would you expect an instantaneous acceleration vs. time graph to look for a cart moving with a constant
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=0   v = v₀ + a t

a=0    line is horizontal

Explanation:

1, In a graph of acceleration vs. time, we have lines, when the line is horizontal it is zero, when the line has a positive slope the increasing accelerations and when the slope is negative the decreasing acceleration

2, speed and relationship of a car is given by

        v = v₀ + a t

where vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and tel time

in this case I will calcograph velocity vs. time the constant acceleration is a straight line.

In general from the graph we can find the initial velocity with the cut at that x and the acceleration of the car with the slope

Answer:

I believe the answer to be B

Explanation:
