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}

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
love history [14]

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.
