Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.

Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.

Mathematically,

\Delta U=Q+W

where, Q = heat energy

W = work energy

\Delta U = Change in internal energy

Sign convention for these energies:

For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.

For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.

For \Delta U: When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.

Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W

<span>Q = ΔU + W
Q is the exchanged heat.
ΔU is the total change in the internal energy of a system.
W  is the work done by or on the system.
The statement of the First Law is Thermodynamics is: “energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy, but it cannot be created nor destroyed, under any circumstances”.</span>

The nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports
Katarina [22]
The west constituent of their sequence needs to cancel out 58 mph crosswind. Subsequently a northwest direction is a 45-degree angle up to even with the destination. That is the third point out of the triangle and the right angle is at the destination. The top side is the west constituent of their flight the vertical side is their resultant travel and the hypotenuse is their definite distance flown. Since the 58 mph crosswind was negated by flying northwest, the distance from the beginning to the destination must be the same distance as the west component of their travel. The hypotenuse is square root of twice the side since it has 2 identical sides.

c = sqrt (58^2 + 58^2) = sqrt (6728) = 82.02 
 
Alternative solution:

c = sqrt (2) * 58 = 1.414 * 58 = 82.02

Therefore, they have to fly 82.02 mph

You normally drive a 12-h trip at an average speed of 100 km/h . Today you are in a hurry. During the first two-thirds of the di
kherson [118]

Answer:

78 km/h

Explanation:

If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:

  • 100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km

Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.

  • 1,200 * 2/3 = 800 km

I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.

To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.

  • 116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
  • 800 = 116 · ?
  • ? = 800/116
  • ? = 6.89655172

I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.

Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.

  • 12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h  

Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.

  • ? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
  • 5.10344828 · ? = 400
  • ? = 400/5.10344828
  • ? = 78.3783783148  

My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.

the moon revolves around the earth in a nearly circular orbit kept by gravitational force exerted by the earth work done will be
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

Problem 3.2 Part A Draw the vector C⃗ =A⃗ +B⃗ .(Figure 1)
Elodia [21]
I can't answer this question without a figure. I've found a similar problem as shown in the first picture attached. When adding vectors, you don't have to add the magnitudes only, because vectors also have to factor in the directions. To find the resultant vector C, connect the end tails of the individual vectors. <em>The red line (second picture) represents the vector C.</em>
