Why is it impossible to create a perpetual motion machine?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

It is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine because some of the energy will always be lost in the conversion  and therefore it will eventually stop.

Correct Answer : Option B

Explanation:

The perpetual motion machine is impossible machine as it is hypothetical working machine which would be in motion for an indefinite time in continuity of the motion. The continuity of motion for an indefinite time would mean that the working principle of the machine would never allow the dissipation of energy from the machine and all the machine would ultimately reserve all the energy and be converting it into forms without any loss.

This working principle is violation of first and second laws of thermodynamics and hence a machine will eventually lose some of its energy in every conversion of the working cycle and hence there will be a time where the machine would be stopped, and hence a perpetual motion machine cannot be made.

how did we discover how to brake the sound barior and why did we not go as fast as the speed of light
quester [9]

The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound.  Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.

Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?
mrs_skeptik [129]
 <span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards. 

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction. 

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving) 

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces. 

this must be equal to F 

so 

F=60cos26.9 
F=53.5N

hope this helps you
