Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

A gaseous refrigerant undergoes compression when 150 j of work is done on it. if the internal energy of the gas increases by 120
zhenek [66]

The heat transferred is -30J

When the gas undergoes compression, work is done on the gas and its internal energy increases.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the increase in internal energyΔU is the sum of the heat given to the gas ΔQ and the amount of work done on the gas ΔW

\Delta U=\Delta Q +\Delta W

The work done on the gas is 150 J due to compression and the internal energy of the gas increases by 120 J.

Therefore, the heat given to the gas is given by,

\Delta Q =\Delta U -\Delta W\\ =120 J -150 J\\  =-30 J

Thus, an amount of heat equal to 30 J flows out of the system.

What is the difference between an observation and an inference?
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

observation is something what you could observe from your organs like eyes ears etc and also it is what you observed during an event for an experiment but inference is what you decide to do after observation or an event.

the act of inferring (to derive by reasoning). Observation = an act or instance of noticing or perceiving.
