Answer:

gravitational force acting on the piano (piano's weight)

force of Chadwick on the piano

force of the floor on the piano (normal force)

Explanation:

Figure is missing: found it in attachment.

In the figure, we notice that the piano is accelerating along the horizontal direction: this means that there is a net force acting along this direction. This force is prodiced by Chadwick, and it acts in the same direction as the acceleration, so one force is:

force of Chadwick on the piano

Also, every object on Earth experencies the force of gravity, which is also called weight. The weight of the piano acts downward, so a second force is:

gravitational force acting on the piano (piano's weight)

Finally, we notice that the piano is in equilibrium along the vertical direction (no acceleration): this is because there is another force acting opposite to the piano's weight (and with equal magnitude), and this force is the normal force exerted by the floor on the piano:

force of the floor on the piano (normal force)

A light flashes at position x=0m. One microsecond later, a light flashes at position x=1000m. In a second reference frame, movin

padilas [110]

Answer:

To the right relative to the original frame.

Explanation:

In first reference frame S,

Spatial interval of the event, $\rm \Delta x=1000\ m-0\ m=1000\ m.$

Temporal interval of the event, $\rm \Delta t = 1\ \mu s=10^{-6}\ s.$

In the second reference frame S', the two flashes are simultaneous, which means that the temporal interval of the event in this frame is $\rm \Delta t'=0\ s.$

The speed of the frame S' with respect to frame S = v.

According to the Lorentz transformation,

$\rm \Delta t'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right ).\\\\Since,\ \Delta t'=0,\\\therefore \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right )=0\\\Rightarrow \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=0\\\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=\Delta t\\v=\dfrac{c^2\Delta t}{\Delta x }.\\\\Also, \ \Delta t,\ \Delta x>0\ \Rightarrow v>0.$

And positive v means the velocity of the second frame S' is along the positive x-axis direction, i.e., to the right direction relative to the original frame S.

What does the first law of thermodynamics state about energy?

ruslelena [56]

The first law states that the internal energy change of that system is given by Q − W . Since added heat increases the internal energy of a system, Q is positive when added to the system and negative when removed from the system.
