Which best explains why a wood burning fireplace represents an open system

Physics

REY [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

An open system is defined as the a system in which energy or mass can be gained or loss from the environment.

Here in this case a wood burning fireplace represents an open system as it is directly taking oxygen from the atmosphere.

During this direct exchange of gases heat is produced hence mass of wood is lost and oxygen is gained from the atmosphere.

So as fire is required from atmosphere to burn the wood, it best explains why a wood burning represent an open system.

Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes I agree with the statement .

When a person who is perfectly insulated from the earth , touches a Van de Graaff , his body acquires charge . when the hair acquires it, it stands out due to mutual repulsion . It is to be noted here that at pointed areas on a surface , there is larger accumulation of charge. Accumulation of charge is greater at hair tops .

It is also a general observation that when a bird sits on high tension wire , his feather stands out due to the same reason.

A 104.328-kg baserunner slides into home base. He starts his slide moving at 8.451 m/s and 6.596 m from home base; when he cross
JulijaS [17]

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the baserunner and the ground is 0.51.

<h3>Coefficient of kinetic friction </h3>

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the base runner and the ground is calculated as follows;

μ = a/g

where;

  • a is acceleration
  • g is gravity

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/(2s)

a = (8.451² - 2.322²)/(2 x 6.596)

a = 5 m/s²

μ = 5/9.8

μ = 0.51

Thus, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the baserunner and the ground is 0.51.

A bicyclist is coasting straight down a hill at a constant speed. The mass of the rider and bicycle is 96.0 kg, and the hill is
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

 The force applied 275 N in a direction parallel to the hill

Explanation:

Newton's second law is adequate to work this problem, in the annex we can see a free body diagram, where the weight (W) is vertical, the friction force (fr) is parallel to the surface and the normal (N ) is perpendicular to it. In general for these problems a reference system is taken that is parallel to the surface and the Y axis is perpendicular to it.

Let us decompose the weight into its two components, the angle T is taken from the axis and

            Wx = W sin θ

            Wy = W cos T

We write Newton's second law

              ∑ F = m a

X axis

          The cyclist falls at a constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero

              fr - W sin θ = 0

              fr = mg sin θ

              fr = 96 9.8 without 17

              fr = 275 N

When the cyclist returns to climb the hill, he must apply the same force he has to overcome the friction force that always opposes the movement .  The force applied 275 N in a direction parallel to the hill
