Answer:

The correct answer is c a power plant burning coal and producing electricity.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics it can be stated that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.Energy can only be transformed.The total amount of energy of universe always remains constant.

     A powerplant burning coal and producing electricity best suits the first law of thermodynamics because here the heat energy is being converted into electric energy and no energy is lost during the transformation of energy.

A planet has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. Find the weight of a 65.0 kg person at 1000 km above the sur
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the weight of a person, we use the formula:

w=mg     ....(1)

where,

w = weight of an object

m = mass of the person = 65kg

g = acceleration due to the gravity of the planet

For the calculation of weight, we need to first find the acceleration due to gravity and for that we use the formula:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where, g = acceleration due to gravity = ?m/s^2

G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

M = mass of the planet = 5.97\times 10^{24}kg

r = distance of the person from the planet = 6.38\times 10^6m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

g=\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11}kgm/s^2.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg)}{(6.38\times 10^6m)^2}\\\\g=9.782m/s^2

Putting this value in equation 1, we get:

w=65kg\times 9.782m/s^2=635.83N

Hence, the weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
