Efficiency is defined as the measure of the amount of work or energy is conserved in a certain process. At all times, in every process, work or energy is always lost or wasted due to certain interference. Not all work given is converted to useful work or energy. Thus , efficiency is calculated by dividing the energy or work output to the energy or work input then the value is multiplied by 100 to express efficiency as percentage.

Efficiency = work output / work input
Efficiency = (1020 J / 1200 J) = 85%

Ancient Greek philosophers spent lots of time thinking about science and imaging explanations for the natural world. What part o
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Testing

Explanation:

Ancient Greek philosophers lived with the ideology to simply contemplate life. This means that their whole life revolved around thinking and questioning everything. This would include creative thinking, because they would sometimes come up with theories which require creativeness. They would often debate with their friends as to why their theory should be accepted or what their opinions were on the matter. More often than not, they argued a lot, and many philosophers went against some powerful people in the community and some were even sentenced to death.

The main process they didn't/couldn't do was the testing. They could never test certain theories because they did not have the means to.

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s

Suppose that a sound has initial intensity β1 measured in decibels. This sound now increases in intensity by a factor f. What is
topjm [15]

Answer:

β2= β1+10*f

Explanation:

comparing β2 and β1, it is said that β2 is increased by a factor of f.

for each factor of f, there is a 10*f dB increase.

therefore if the β1 is increases by an intensity of factor f

the new intensity would be β1+ 10*f

Nerve impulses are carried along axons, the elongated fibers that transmit neural signals. We can model an axon as a tube with a
jeka94

Answer:

The resistance of the axon is 1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inner diameter of the model of an axon, d=10\ \mu m

Radius of the model, r=5\ \mu m=5\times 10^{-6}\ m

Resistivity of the fluid inside the tube wall, \rho=0.5\ \Omega -m

Length of the axon, l = 2 mm = 0.002 m

We know that the resistance in terms of resistivity of an object is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=0.5\times \dfrac{0.002}{\pi (5\times 10^{-6})^2}\\\\R=1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the axon is 1.27\times 10^7\ \Omega. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W
