Describe and open, closed, and isolated system

1 answer:

8 0

An open system can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings. Δ H is measured when
an open system is used as a calorimeter.

A closed system has a fixed amount of matter, but it can exchange energy with the surroundings. Δ U is
measured when a closed system is used as a calorimeter because there is no change in volume and thus no
expansion work can be done.

An isolated system has no contact with its surroundings. The universe is considered an isolated system but on
a less profound scale, your thermos for keeping liquids hot approximates an isolated system.

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

$\tau = I \times \alpha$

and, I = $\sum mr^{2}$

So, $I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}$

= 4 $kg m^{2}$

$\tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}$

$\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

So, $I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}$

= 1 $kg m^{2}$

as $\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

= $1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}$

Hence, $\tau_{1} = \tau_{2}$

$4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}$

$\alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the first rotation rate.

How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
