Trips/slips/falls are among the most common types of work related injuries and/or deaths.
eimsori [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Falls, being caught in or between objects, electrocutions, highway collision.

Explanation:

There are the following most common accident of serious work related injuries and deaths are described below by the OSHA statistics:

  • Falls: This is the most common accident which occurs in at the working sites. This is caused due to lack of fall protection, dangerous ladders.
  • Being caught in or between objects: This is caused when someone is come in between the machine or compressed and can be crushed by the machines.
  • Electrocutions: It is the third most common accident occur on the construction sites. It is caused by the loose wiring and by the faulty electric designs.
  • Highway collision: It is the leading cause of death at construction site. Vehicle collision will leads to various non fatal injuries that will affect the life of workers and their families.

Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other. <br><br> True<br> False
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The given statement "Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other" is not true as there are many types of forces that doesn't require being in contact for exerting a force.

One such example is the gravitational force acting between two bodies. Gravitational force is the force of pull with which a body pulls another body without being in contact.

For two bodies of masses 'M' and 'm' separated at a distance of 'R', the gravitational force is given as:

Force=\frac{GMm}{R^2}\\Where,G\to \textrm{Universal Gravitational constant}

The gravitational force acts always act between bodies that have mass. The bodies are not in contact yet experience force.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Describe an imaginary process that satisfies the second law but violates the first law of thermodynamics.
N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

First last of thermodynamics, just discusses the changes that a system is undergoing and the processes involved in it. It explains conservation of energy for a system undergoing changes or processes.

Second law of thermodynamics helps in defining the process and also the direction of the processes. It tells about the possibility of a process or the restriction of a process. It states that the entropy of a system always increases.

For this to occur the energy contained by a body has to diminish without converting to work or internal energy. So imagine a machine which works with less than efficiency, this means there are losses but they don’t show up anywhere. But the energy is obtained from a higher energy source to lower.

The easy way to do this is with an imaginary device that extracts zero-point energy to heat a quantity of gas. Energy is being created, so the first law is violated, and the entropy of the system is increasing as the gas heats up.

First law is violated since the energy conversion don't apply but the direction of work is applied so second law is satisfied.
