What does the first law of thermodynamics state?

Physics
1 answer:
Paraphin [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

b) There is and always will be the exact same amount of energy in the universe.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics establishes the principle of energy conservation, that is to say that in any process the energy is not destroyed, it only transforms into another type of energy, so when analyzing thermodynamic systems it is established that the energy that enters A system is the same that comes out. For the above reason, it can be inferred that if the energy is not destroyed or created there will always be the same amount of energy in the universe.

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t
Serga [27]

Answer:

115 m/s, 414 km/hr

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on a skydiver: gravity and air resistance (drag).  At terminal velocity, the two forces are equal and opposite.

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

Drag force is defined as:

D = ½ ρ v² C A

where ρ is the fluid density,

v is the velocity,

C is the drag coefficient,

and A is the cross sectional surface area.

Substituting and solving for v:

½ ρ v² C A = mg

v² = 2mg / (ρCA)

v = √(2mg / (ρCA))

We're given values for m and A, and we know the value of g.  We need to look up ρ and C.

Density of air depends on pressure and temperature (which vary with elevation), but we can estimate ρ ≈ 1.21 kg/m³.

For a skydiver falling headfirst, C ≈ 0.7.

Substituting all values:

v = √(2 × 80.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² / (1.21 kg/m³ × 0.7 × 0.140 m²))

v = 115 m/s

v = 115 m/s × (1 km / 1000 m) × (3600 s / hr)

v = 414 km/hr

A heavy copper ball of mass 2 kg is dropped from a fiftieth-floor apartment window. Another one with mass 1 kg is dropped immedi
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because everything on Earth falls at the same speed, the masses of the balls do not matter. Since the acceleration due to gravity is constant, their speeds will both be increasing at the same rate, and therefore the difference in speeds would remain constant until they hit the ground. Hope this helps!

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 170-kg crate 10.2 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the e
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done, W = 10195.92 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 170 kg

Distance, d = 10.2 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.6

Let W is the work done by the mover. It is given by in terms of coefficient of friction as :

W=\mu mg\times d

W=0.6\times 170\times 9.8 \times 10.2

W = 10195.92 Joules

So, the work done by the mover is 10195.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
