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}

A 3.0N force to the right acts on a 0.5kg object at rest during a time interval of 4.0 seconds .What is the velocity of the obje
monitta

Answer:

24 m/s

Explanation:

Applying Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = force acting on the object, m = mass of the object a = acceleration of the object.

First we calculate for a.

make a the subject of the formula in equation 1 above

a = F/m............... Equation 2

Given: F = 3 N, m = 0.5 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

a = 3/0.5

a = 6 m/s²

Secondly we calculate the velocity by using,

v = u+at................... Equation 3

Where v = Final velocity of the object, u = initial velocity of the object, t = time interval

Given: u = 0 m/s (at rest), a = 6 m/s², t = 4 s

Substitute into equation 3

v = 0+6(4)

v = 24 m/s

I

Explanation:24 h/1 day * 3.600*10^3 s/1h = 3.156*10^7 s

Angular speed = angular displacement / time

Angular speed = 2*pi rads / 3.156*10^7 s = 1.9910*10^-7 rad/s
