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}

all objects near the earths surface-regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them. is it true or f
pickupchik [31]

False: the force of gravity acting on different objects is different and depends on their mass

Explanation:

The answer is false.

The force of gravity acting on an object (also known as weight) near the Earth's surface is given by:

F=mg

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

We see from the formula that the force of gravity acting on an object depends on the mass: the larger the mass of the object, the stronger the gravitational force acting on it, and the smaller the mass, the weaker the force of gravity.

The factor that does not change is the acceleration of gravity, which is constant (9.8 m/s^2) if we are near the Earth's surface, and implies that all the objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate towards the ground, regardless of their size and weight.

To determine the pressure in a fluid at a given depth with the air-filled cartesian diver, we can employ Boyle's law, which stat
aniked [119]

Answer:

The pressure at this depth is 1.235\cdot P_{atm}.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the uncompressed fluid stands at atmospheric pressure. By Boyle's Law we have the following expression:

\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} (1)

Where:

V_{1}, V_{2} - Initial and final volume.

P_{1}, P_{2} - Initial and final pressure.

If we know that V_{2} = 0.81\cdot V_{1}, then the pressure ratio is:

\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 1.235

If P_{1} = P_{atm}, then the final pressure of the gas is:

P_{2} = 1.235\cdot P_{atm}

The pressure at this depth is 1.235\cdot P_{atm}.
