A kettle has a 55% energy efficiency. The input energy for the kettle is 378,000 J per boil. Calculate the amount of energy dissipated in 5 boils.

Energy used for one boil = (3.78 x 10 5 / 100) x 55Energy used for one boil = 2.079 x 10 5 J Energy lost per boil = 3.78 x 10 5 -2.079 x 10 5 Energy lost per boil = 1.701 x 10 5 Energy lost per 5 boils = (1....

The line L1 is given by the Equation y =3x+5, and the line L2 is given by the Equation 4y-12x+16=0. Show that the lines L1 and L2 are Parallel

Rewrite the equation for L2 to find an equation for y4y=12x-16; y = 3x - 4 2. The x-coefficient gives the gradient (or slope) of the line, so since the gradient of L1 is 3, and as we have just shown, the gra...
