Answer:

The efficiency of the hair dryer is 0.2 or 20%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine or any appliance is a measure of the useful work done by the machine when an effort is applied to the machine. The higher the efficiency of a machine, the more useful work the machine does.

Due to the economical and environmental impact of energy production, machines and appliances of high efficiency are being developed and recommended for domestic as well as industrial use nowadays.

In electrical appliances, energy is usually supplied by electrical power units. The higher the efficiency of an electrical appliance, the less power it consumes to do useful work. For a hair dryer which takes in 3000 J of energy per second and transfers 600 J of useful heat energy, its efficiency is calculated with formula below:

efficiency = useful energy / total energy input

Efficiency = 600 J / 3000 J = 0.2

Therefore, the efficiency of the hair dryer is 0.2 or 20%

Thepotemich [5.8K]
The most appropriate answer would be that a woman who is pregnant may consume up 200 g of caffeine because this will be safe.Therefore, it is evident that a smaller amount of caffeine is safe during pregnancy because a lot of caffeine has been found to increase seizures as well as penetrate freely to the placenta.This is dangerous and can cause harm to the unborn child.

3. Adrenal gland

4. false

5. Hormones

6. To regulate body activities (like growth and immunity) by sending chemical messages

Explanation:

1. Sports medicine is the branch of medicine that is related to physical fitness, so if the question ask for someone who is interested in athletic activity, the correct answer is number 4.

2. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that in order to treat or even to prevent disease genes are used to help with their treatment, so a person who is interested in genetics and its relation with health, the correct answer is number 2.

3. Adrenal gland this is the gland that sintetice Adrenaline also known as epinephrine  which is a hormone or also a medicine that plays an important role in the fight or flight response, this hormone is the one in charge of giving us several symptom like tachycardia or dilated pupils in order to survive in dangerous situations, so the correct answer to Sarah's problem is number 1.

4. False the endocrine system serves as a messenger to regulate hormone synthesis and are secreted to the circulatory system.

5. Hormones, as we have answer before hormones are regulated by the endocrine system.

6. To regulate body activities (like growth and immunity) by sending chemical messages hormones play an important part in human development and growth, these chemical messages serve to regulate the synthesis (creation) and secretion (liberation) of the hormones in the specific quantity as the body needs them.
