Answer:

b) total energy input equals total energy output

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a generalization of the conservation of energy in thermal processes. It is based on Joule's conclusion that heat and energy are equivalent. But to get there you have to get around some traps along the way.

From Joule's conclusion we might be tempted to call heat "internal" energy associated with temperature. We could then add heat to the potential and kinetic energies of a system, and call this sum the total energy, which is what it would conserve. In fact, this solution works well for a wide variety of phenomena, including Joule's experiments. Problems arise with the idea of ​​heat "content" of a system. For example, when a solid is heated to its melting point, an additional "heat input" causes the melting but without increasing the temperature. With this simple experiment we see that simply considering the thermal energy measured only by a temperature increase as part of the total energy of a system will not give a complete general law.

Instead of "heat," we can use the concept of internal energy, that is, an energy in the system that can take forms not directly related to temperature. We can then use the word "heat" to refer only to a transfer of energy between a system and its environment. Similarly, the term work will not be used to describe something contained in the system, but describes a transfer of energy from one system to another. Heat and work are, therefore, two ways in which energy is transferred, not energies.

In an isolated system, that is, a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, the total energy must remain constant. If the system exchanges energy with its environment but not matter (what is called a closed system), it can do so only in two ways: a transfer of energy either in the form of work done on or by the system, either in the form of heat to or from the system. In the event that there is energy transfer, the change in the energy of the system must be equal to the net energy gained or lost by the environment.

you have been called to testify as a as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision Car A weighs 1515 pounds and
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

70.6 mph

Explanation:

Car A mass= 1515 lb

Car B mass=1125 lb  

Speed of car B is 46 miles/h

Distance before locking, d=19.5 ft

Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.75

Initial momentum of car B=mv where m is mass and v is velocity in ft/s  

46 mph*1.46667=67.4666668 ft/s

Momentum_B=1125*67.4666668 ft/s

Initial momentum of car A is given by

Momentum_A=1515v_a where v_a is velocity of A

Taking East as positive and west as negative then the sum of initial momentum is

1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)

The common velocity is represented as v_c hence after collision, the final momentum is

Momentum_final=(m_a+m_b)v_c=(1515+1125)v_c=2640v_c

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, sum of initial and final momentum equals each other hence

1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c

The acceleration of two cars a=-\mug=-0.75*32.17=-24.1275 ft/s^{2}

From kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as hence

v^{2}-u^{2}=2as

0^{2}-(v_c)^{2}=2*-24.1275*19.5

v_c=\sqrt{2*24.1275*19.5}=30.67 ft/s

Substituting the value of v_c in equation 1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c

1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640*30.67

1515v_a=(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)+2640*30.67

v_a=\frac {156868.8}{1515}=103.5438 ft/s

\frac {103.5438}{1.46667}=70.59787 mph\approx 70.60 mph

Ixchelt burns her tongue when she takes a sip of hot coffee from her mug. Which part of this example represents heat?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

"The thermal energy moving from her coffee to the tongue" represent the heat.

Here coffee is at high temperature while tongue is at low temperature, when Ixchelt tongue make contact with coffee then thermal energy of coffee is absorbed by tongue and tongue gets burned.

As heat always from high Potential to low that is why heat is absorbed by tongue.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER PLEASE HELP ME
koban [17]

Answer:

The total distance is 381.5 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics. The clue to solve this problem is that the motorcyclist starts from rest, i.e. its initial speed is zero.

v_{f} =v_{o} +(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 2 [m/s²]

t = time = 7 [s]

Vf = 0 + (2*7)

Vf = 14 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

14² = 0 + (2*7*x)

x = 196/(14)

x = 14 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

The other important clue to solve this problem in the second part is that the final velocity is now the initial velocity.

We must calculate the final velocity.

v_{f}= v_{i} +(a*t)

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 14 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 4 [m/s²]

t = time = 8 [s]

Vf = 24 + (4*8)

Vf = 56 [m/s]

With this velocity, we can calculate the displacement using the following expression.

v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*a*x

where

x = distance traveled [m]

56² = 14² + (2*4*x)

x = 2940/(8)

x = 367.5 [m]

Note: The positive sign in the equations is because the car is accelerating, it means its velocity is increasing.

Therefore the total distance is Xt = 14 + 367.5 = 381.5 [m].

Normal atmospheric pressure is 1.013 105 Pa. The approach of a storm causes the height of a mercury barometer to drop by 27.1 mm
Burka [1]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure is 0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure P_{atm}= 1.013\times10^{5}\ Pa    

drop height h'= 27.1 mm

Density of mercury \rho= 13.59 g/cm^3

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of pressure

p = \rho g h

Put the value into the formula

1.013\times10^{5}=13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times h

h =\dfrac{1.013\times10^{5}}{13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8}

h=0.76\ m

We need to calculate the new height

h''=h - h'

h''=0.76-27.1\times10^{-3}

h''=0.76-0.027

h''=0.733\ m

We need to calculate the atmospheric pressure

Using formula of atmospheric pressure

P=\rho g h

Put the value into the formula

P= 13.59\times10^{3}\times9.8\times0.733

P=0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa

Hence, The atmospheric pressure is 0.97622\times10^{5}\ Pa.
