Discuss the production, transmission, and usage of electricity in the context of conservation of energy. When electricity is “us

ed” or we say that energy is “wasted,” what is actually happening?

There are huge losses in the transmission, production and usage of electricity and the reduction of these losses in order to save electricity is called as conservation of energy.

As per the statistics, there is loss of nearly 4% while the transmission of electricity. Like wise during production also, lot of electricity get wasted due to the inefficient material used. None of the production material nor the equipment used have 100% efficiency and thus there is always a possibility of energy wastage.

When it is said that the energy is wasted , it simply means that the energy production which should have been 100% as per calculation is not completely derived from the source due to the inefficient conversion process. For example, a turbine while rotating must convert 100 % of the water energy or water falling on it into electrical energy but the turbine is not able to do so as some of the water is lost or its energy is lost before conversion while going through the mechanical process.

What type of equilibrium is guaranteed by each condition of equilibrium
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Conditions for equilibrium require that the sum of all external forces acting on the body is zero (first condition of equilibrium), and the sum of all external torques from external forces is zero (second condition of equilibrium). These two conditions must be simultaneously satisfied in equilibrium

A 38 kg crate rests on a floor. A horizontal pulling force of 170 N is needed to start the crate
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

0.456033049

Explanation:

F=\mu N where N=mg hence

F=\mu mg where m is mass of object, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2}, \mu is the coefficient of static friction and F is the applied force.

Making \mu the subject we obtain

\mu=\frac {mg}{N} and substituting m for 38 Kg, g for 9.81 m/s^{2} and 170 N for  F we obtain

\mu=\frac{170} {38*9.81}=0.456033049

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction is 0.456033049

A 12.0 kg mass, fastened to the end of an aluminum wire with an unstretched length of 0.50 m, is whirled in a vertical circle wi
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A.)1.52cm

B.)1.18cm

Explanation:

angular speed of 120 rev/min.

cross sectional area=0.14cm²

mass=12kg

F=120±12ω²r

=120±12(120×2π/60)^2 ×0.50

=828N or 1068N

To calculate the elongation of the wire for lowest and highest point

δ=F/A

= 1068/0.5

δ=2136MPa

'E' which is the modulus of elasticity for alluminium is 70000MPa

δ=ξl=φl/E =2136×50/70000=1.52cm

δ=F/A=828/0.5

=1656MPa

δ=ξl=φl/E

=1656×50/70000=1.18cm

δ=1.18cm

A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a very light rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

acceleration = 2.4525‬ m/s²

Explanation:

Data: Let m1 = 3.0 Kg, m2 = 5.0 Kg, g = 9.81 m/s²

Tension in the rope = T

Sol: m2 > m1

i) for downward motion of m2:

m2 a = m2 g - T

5 a = 5 × 9.81 m/s² - T  

⇒ T = 49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a     Eqn (a)‬

ii) for upward motion of m1

m a = T - m1 g

3 a = T - 3 × 9.8 m/s²

⇒ T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²   Eqn (b)

Equating Eqn (a) and(b)

49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a = T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²

49.05‬ m/s² - 29.43‬ m/s² = 3 a + 5 a

19.62 m/s² = 8 a

⇒ a = 2.4525‬ m/s²

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
fgiga [73]
Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here. 

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>
