Define thermodynamics ??? ​

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The term thermodynamics comes from the Greek words therme (heat)  and dynamis (force)

Explanation:

Thermodynamics can be defined as the science of energy. Thought everything  the world has an idea of what energy is, it's hard to define it precisely.

Energy can be considered as the ability to cause change.

The term thermodynamics comes from the Greek words therme (heat)  and dynamis (force), which corresponds to the most descriptive of the first  efforts to convert heat into energy. At present, the concept is  interpret broadly to include Energy Aspects and their transformations,  including power generation, cooling and relationships  among the properties of matter.

f two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a m
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The two objects will collide with the same position vector for all three components at exactly t = 4 s

Explanation:

For two particles starting out at the same time to collide, their position Vector's at the time of collision must be exactly the same.

So, at the collision point, position vector of object 1 is equated to that of object 2.

r₁ = (t², 13t-36, t²)

r₂ = (7t-12, t², 5t-4)

At he point of collision

t² = 7t - 12

t² - 7t + 12 = 0

t² - 4t - 3t + 12 = 0

t(t - 4) - 3(t - 4) = 0

t = 3s or t = 4s

13t - 36 = t²

t² - 13t + 36 = 0

t² - 4t - 9t + 36 = 0

t(t - 4) - 9(t - 4) = 0

t = 9s or 4s

t² = 5t - 4

t² - 5t + 4 = 0

t² - 4t - t + 4 = 0

t(t - 4) - 1(t - 4) = 0

t = 1s or t = 4s

The three components intersect at other times, but at t = 4s, they all intersect at the same time! Meaning that, at this point the two objects are at the same place with the same position vector at that time.

At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l
Alja [10]

Answer:

Counterclockwise

Explanation:

We need to calculate the clocwkise and the counterclockwise torque.

The clockwise torque is the one generated by the child sitting on the right. This torque is given by:

M_C = F d

where

F=mg=(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=205.8 N is the force exerted by the child (his weight)

d = 1.8 m is the distance from the pivot point

So, the clockwise torque is

M_C = (205.8 N)(1.8 m)=370.4 Nm

The counterclockwise torque is the one generated by the adult pushing on the left, and it is given by

M_A = F d

where

F = 151 N is the force applied

d = 3.0 m is the distance from the pivot

Substituting,

M_A = (151 N)(3.0 m)=453 Nm

So, the net torque is

M_A - M_C = 453 Nm - 370.4 Nm=82.6 Nm

And since the counterclockwise momentum is greater than the clockwise one, the teeter-totter will rotate counterclockwise.
