E) Thermal energy is released during

vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U$ (1)

Where:

$Q_{net, in}$ - Net input heat, measured in joules.

$W_{net, out}$ - Net output work, measured in joules.

$\Delta U$ - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then $\Delta U < 0$ , which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) $Q_{net,in} < 0$ , $W_{net, out} < 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|$

(ii) $Q_{net, in} > 0$ , $W_{net,out} > 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|$

(iii) $Q_{net,in}< 0$ , $W_{net, out}>0$

In the case $Q_{net,in} > 0$ , $W_{net, out}$ , the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

$Q_{net, in} = \Delta U$ , $Q_{net, in} < 0$ (2)

If $Q_{net, in} < 0$ , then $\Delta U < 0$ . Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.

Define second class lever

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).
