Eva is in a closed, dark room. She uses her arm muscles to turn on a lamp. When she moves her hand closer to the lamp, the light

heats her hand. The light bounces off the pages of a book and into her eyes.
If this room is a closed system, what happens to the total amount of energy in the room?

A.
It remains constant.

B.
It decreases.

C.
It increases, then decreases.

D.
It increases.

Its a tricky one but my guess would be D if she turned on the lamp causing energy if would have increased the amount in the specificed room x

Well, we know that the total energy in a closed system remains constant.

The problem with the story of Eva is that she is not in a closed system. 
If the dark room were really a closed system, then she could press the
button or turn the switch all day, and the lamp could not light.  It needs
electrical energy coming in from somewhere in order to turn on.

Let's say that Eva used her arm muscles to strike a match and light the
candle on the table.  Then we would have have food energy, muscle
energy, chemical energy in the match, chemical energy in the candle,
heat and light energy coming out of the candle, heat energy soaking into
her hand, light energy bouncing off of the book and into her eyes ... all
going on during the story, and the sum total of all of them would remain
constant.

How do you think electricity was discovered
sasho [114]
Italian physicist Alessandro Volta discovered that particular chemical reactions could produce electricity, and in 1800 he constructed the voltaic pile (an early electric battery) that produced a steady electric current, and so he was the first person to create a steady flow of electrical charge.

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.434 kg approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 13.0 m/s. The player kicks the ball with
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) 15.49

b) Opposite to the ball's initial velocity

c) 258.16N

Explanation:

a)

\Delta p=m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (0.434)(13.0-(-22.7)) \\\\\Delta p=(0.434)(35.7)\approx 15.49 kg \cdot m/s

b)

Since the player is kicking the ball in the opposite direction to which it came, the impulse is being directed opposite to the ball's initial velocity.

c)

\Delta p= F \Delta t \\\\\\F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \\\\\\F=\dfrac{15.49 kg \cdot m/s}{0.06 s}\approx 258.16N

Hope this helps!
