Answer:
Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>
Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.
Explanation:
The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;
л = output energy/input energy
The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.
What do you mean by that? Can you explain further?
Answer:
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.
Explanation:
Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.
a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)
b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.
c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.
d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.
The purpose is that it shows you all the elements we know and it arranges them in groups that are also the same kind like Chemistry.
Sandblasted: More smooth because all the rough edges are "blasted" away. And slightly smaller because of the loss of the edges.
Non-Sandblasted: Not smooth; rough.
