Answer: work must be done on the system  (Option A)

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics is the fundamental law of nature; it states that energy can be transferred from cold objects to hot objects only, if work is done on the system. If energy is added to the system then as a result the thermal energy would increase. Second law of thermodynamics is used to determine whether a process is spontaneous or not.  Moreover,the second law of thermodynamics is also used in refrigerators.

If a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis passing through its center of mass, the body's linear momentum is
dexar [7]

Answer:

The linear momentum is zero

Explanation:

Because

When a rigid body is rotating about a fixed axis passing through point O, the body’s linear momentum given as L = mvG

But VG= 0 so

Linear momentum is zero

A ball is thrown up into the air with an initial velocity of 18 m/s. A) How high does the ball go? B) Calculate the time needed
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B) t = 1.83 [s]

A) y = 16.51 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f} =v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.

A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

9.81*t = 18

t = 18/9.81

t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.

Now using the following equation.

y = y_{o} + v_{o}*t - 0.5*g*t^{2}\\

where:

y = elevation [m]

Yo = initial elevation = 0

y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²

y = 16.51 [m]

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 52.5-g piton from a height of 325 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th
alex41 [277]
Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.  
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH 
V^2 = 2GH 
V = âš2GH 
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)  
V = âš 6370
 V = 79.81 m/s

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another
