Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.
Answer:
B. Nuclear to Electrical
Explanation:
Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.
- When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
- Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
- The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
- This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
- This in turn generates electricity.
Answer:
Energy Ouput (Useful) / Total Energy Input = 4000 / 4800 = .833
E = 83% assuming 4800 is actually input to fan
The Doppler effect says that if the source of a sound wave and the observer are moving further apart, the frequency of the sound as the observer hears it will decrease. This can be caused by the source moving away from the observer or the observer moving away from the source. Both C and D will cause the decrease in frequency.
Choice F
Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
The formula for the kinetic energy
of an object is:
,
where
is the mass of that object, and
is the speed of that object.
Important: Joule (
) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for
requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is
while the standard unit for speed is
. If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,
Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:
.
Initial
of this arrow:
.
That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:
.
