''The freezer and room are not an isolated system, since electrical energy flows in.'' is the correct statement.

<h3>What is Second Law of Thermodynamics?</h3>

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that "in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than the energy of the initial state."

So we can conclude that ''The freezer and room are not an isolated system, since electrical energy flows in.'' is the correct statement.

Una tubería con secciones circulares se emplea para el traslado de agua entre el tanque central y un tanque auxiliar. El tanque

charle [14.2K]

A) 20 L/s

B) 2.55 m/s

C) 10.20 m/s

D) 400.8 kPa

Explanation:

In this problem, we know that the volume of the tank:

$V=72 m^3$

is filled in a time of

$t = 1 h$

We also know that the volume flow rate of water in the pipe is constant in every point of the pipe, so it can be calculated directly from the two data above.

The volume of the tank, in liter, is

$V=72 m^3 = 72,000 L$

While the time, in seconds, is

$t=1 h = 3600 s$

Therefore, the volume flow rate in Liters per second is:

$Q=\frac{V}{t}=\frac{72,000}{3600}=20 L/s$

The volume flow rate of water through the pipe can be also written as

$Q=Av$

where

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

In section B, we have:

r = 0.050 m is the radius of section B

so, the cross-sectional area of section B is:

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.050)^2=0.00785 m^2$

The volume flow rate in SI units is

$Q=\frac{V}{t}=\frac{72.0m^3}{3600 s}=0.02 m^3/s$

Therefore, the speed of the water in section B is:

$v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{0.02}{0.00785}=2.55 m/s$

As in part B), we know that the volume flow rate must remain constant through the entire pipe.

So, the volume flow rate in section A of the pipe is still

$Q=0.02 m^3/s$

The radius of the pipe in section A is

$r=0.025 m$

Therefore, the cross-sectional area in section A of the pipe is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.025)^2=0.00196 m^2$

So, since we have

$Q=Av$

we can find the speed of water in section A:

$v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{0.02}{0.00196}=10.20 m/s$

Here we want to find the gauge pressure in section B.

We know that:

$p_A = 2.0 atm = 105,000 Pa$ is the pressure in section A

$h_A=15.0m$ is the altitude of section A

$v_A=10.20 m/s$ is the speed of water in section A

$v_B=2.55 m/s$ is the speed of water in section B

We can write Bernoulli's equation:

$p_A + \rho g h_A + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_A^2 = p_B + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_B^2$

where

$\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the water density

$p_B$ is the pressure in section B

And solving for pB, we find:

$p_B = p_A + \rho g h_A + \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_A^2-v_B^2)=\\=205,000+(1000)(9.8)(15.0)+\frac{1}{2}(1000)(10.20^2-2.55^2)=400,769 Pa$

Which is

$p_B = 400.8 kPa$

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?

bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)

Braking distance is the distance a car travels from the time a person applies the brakes to when the car comes to a complete sto

Dvinal [7]

The kinetic energy of an object increases as its velocity increases. Moreover, we see that the braking distance of the car increases as its velocity increases. Therefore, the breaking distance increases when the kinetic energy of the car is higher. This is evident in the graph where when the velocity is lower, the kinetic energy is lower and the braking distance is less.
