Answer:

the second law of thermodynamics. that some energy is destroyed in every energy conversion.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy conversion is never 100% efficient. Some energy is always lost as it is being converted from one form to the other.

The fact that a steer must eat at least 100 pounds of grain to gain less than 10 pounds of muscle tissue shows that not all the energy taken up from the grain is channelled towards building the muscle tissue. Some energy from the grains are lost on the way according to the second law of thermodynamics.

A car accelerates from rest to 90m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration and how far did it travel?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

90m/s*3seconds

=270m

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 22 and its mass number is 96?
Dovator [93]
1. The mass number is protons + neutrons = mass number. In this case, we have protons + neutron = 164.The atomic number is simply the number of protons so we have 43 + neutrons = 164. Subtracting 43 from both sides we get neutrons = 121.
2.  = 4

3. The number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons. 

A=mass number: 
Z=atomic number (= number of protons)
N=number of neutrons:

A=Z+N

If the number of protons in the nucleus is equal the number of neutrons , we would have an even mass number; because Z=N=x; then A=x+x=2x  (this is always an even number) but  23 is an odd number, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus does not equal the number of neutrons.

A wire of radius 5 x 10⁻⁴ m is needed to prepare a coil of resistance 40 Ω. The resistivity of the material of the wire is 3.14x
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

From the question,

R = Lρ/A.................... Equation 1

Where R = resistance of the wire, L = length of the wire, ρ = resistivity of the wire, A = cross sectional area of the wire.

But,

A = πr².................... Equation 2

Where r = radius of the wire.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

R = Lρ/πr²

Make L the subject of the equation

L = Rπr²/ρ...................... Equation 3

Given: R = 40 Ω, r = 5×10⁻⁴ m, ρ = 3.14×10⁻⁷ Ωm

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

L = [40×3.14×( 5×10⁻⁴)²]/ (3.14×10⁻⁷)

L = 40×3.14×25×10⁻⁸/(3.14×10⁻⁷)

L = 100 m

Hence the length of the wire is 100 m
