<span>At first we need to push very hard but once the box has started move we can push less strongly yet still keep it moving because there is a force of static friction which keeps the box at rest but once we overcome static friction it becomes relatively easy for us to move it because now we only have to enconter sliding or rolling friction which is much less than static friction. In fact, static friction has the highest magnitude.

A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i
shepuryov [24]

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

f = \frac{R}{2}

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

R = 2f

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

Use the graph above to determine the change in speed of the object between 20 and 30 seconds?
allsm [11]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

To determine the change in speed of the object, we just need to determine its speed at t = 30 s and at t = 20 s, and then calculate the difference.

The speed at t = 30 is:

v = 6 m/s

While the speed at t = 20 s is:

u = 0

Therefore, the change in speed is:

\Delta v = v-u=6-0 = 6 m/s

insens350 [35]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

First Law of Thermodynamics - Sign Convention The first law of thermodynamics applies the conservation of energy principle to systems where heat transfer and doing work are the methods of transferring energy into and out of the system. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system. In equation form, the first law of thermodynamics is AU = Q-W. Here AU is the change in internal energy U of the system. Q is the net heat transferred into the system that is, Q is the sum of all heat transfer into (positive) and out of (negative) the system. W is the net work done by the system—that is, W is the sum of all work done by (positive) and on (negative) the system. We use the following sign conventions: if Q is positive, then there is a net heat transfer into the system; if W is positive, then there is net work done by the system. So positive Q adds energy to the system and positive W takes energy from the system. Thus AU = Q-W. Note also that if more heat transfer into the system occurs than work done, the difference is stored as internal energy. The first law of thermodynamics AU = 9 - W Ur-U, Heat Work System AU--W system w Qin: talu Qout:

What is the net change in internal energy of the system? Enter a number Submit (5 attempts remaining) (b) What is the change in internal energy of a system when a total of 140 J of heat transfer occurs out of (from) the system and 165 ) of work is done on the system? Enter a number Submit (5 attempts remaining) (c) An athlete doing push-ups performs 645 kJ of work and loses 440 kJ of heat. What is the change in the internal energy (in kJ) of the athlete? Enter a number Submit (5 attempts remaining) kJ (d) An athlete doing push-ups performs 690 kJ of work and loses 450 kJ of heat. Then he takes in 830 kJ of energy from eating food, What is the total change in the internal energy (in kJ) of the athlete? Enter a number kJ.

Solution :

a). Given :

$Q_1 = 42 \ J$ , $Q_2 = -22 \ J , \ W_1 = 6 \ J, \ W_2 = -6 \ J $

Net heat transfer

$Q= Q_1+Q_2$

   = 42 + (-22)

   = 20 J

Total work

$W= W_1+W_2$

   = 6 + (-6)

   = 0 J    

∵ ΔU = Q - W

       = 20 - 0

        = 20 J

This is the net change in the internal energy of the system.

b). ΔU = Q + W

           = (-140) + (-165)

           = -305 J

c). ΔU = Q + W

           = (-440) + (645)

           = 205 J

d). ΔU = Q + W

           = (-450) + (690)

           = 240 J
