Answer:

C. second law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

One of the consequences of this law is that there is no process of energy transformation 100% efficient. Some energy will always be lost in in the form of heat, which will be used to raise the temperature of some engine component, or its surroundings, and we will not be able to take advantage of it.

What is the separation distance, in meters, between masses m1 = 15 x 107 kg and m2 = 62 x 107 kg when the gravitational force be
nalin [4]

Answer:

94.1 m

Explanation:

From Coulombs law,

F  = Gm1m2/r²................... Equation 1

where F = force, m1 = first mass, m2 = second mass, G = universal constant, r = distance of separation.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(Gm1m2/F)................. Equation 2

Given: F = 7×10² N, m1 = 15×10⁷ kg, m2 = 62×10⁷ kg,

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute into equation 2

r = √( 6.67×10⁻¹¹×15×10⁷×62×10⁷/7×10²)

r √(886.16×10)

r √(88.616×10²)

r = 9.41×10

r = 94.1 m.

Hence the distance of separation = 94.1 m

In a building with 10.000 cubic feet where the air changes every two hours, what the rate of air change? A. 167.7 cfm B. 83.3 cf
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Flow rate of air is given as 83.33 cubic feet per minute

Explanation:

As we know that total volume of the air flow is given as

V = 10,000 cubic feet

also we know that total time is

t = 2 hours = 120 min

now we have flow rate given as

Q = \frac{V}{t}

Q = \frac{10000}{120}

Q = 83.3 cf/m

A length of wire is cut into five equal pieces. the five pieces are then connected in parallel, with the resulting resistance be
ycow [4]
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} +  \frac{1}{R_2} + ...
In our problem, we have 5 identical resistor of resistance R, so their equivalent resistance is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  5 (\frac{1}{R} )
The problem also says that the equivalent resistance is R_{eq}= 17 \Omega, so we can find the resistance R of each piece of wire:
R=5 R_{eq} = 5 \cdot 17 \Omega = 85 \Omega

In the initial wire, it's like the 5 pieces are connected in series, so the equivalent resistance of the wire is just the sum of the resistances of the 5 pieces:
R_{wire} = 5 R = 5 \cdot 85 \Omega = 425 \Omega

What is the net force on a cart that is pulled to the right with 100 pounds of force and to the left with 30 pounds of force?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F = 70 pounds

Explanation:

To calculate the net force, only substract the left value to the right value.

                                F = F right  -  F left

                                F = 100 p - 30 p

                                F = 70 pounds
