What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance

Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

\rho = Density of medium

A = Area

\nu = Frequency

\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2

Intensity of sound is given by

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2

So,

I\propto \nu^2

We get

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

The ratio is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

A 37 cm long solenoid, 1.8 cm in diameter, is to produce a 0.50 T magnetic field at its center. If the maximum current is 4.4 A,
taurus [48]

Answer:

33,458.71 turns

Explanation:

Given: L = 37 cm = 0.37 m, B= 0.50 T, I = 4.4 A, n= number of turn per meter

μ₀ = Permeability of free space = 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷

Solution:

We have B = μ₀ × n × I

⇒ n = B/ (μ₀ × I)

n = 0.50 T / ( 4 π × 10 ⁻⁷ × 4.4 A)

n = 90,428.94 turn/m

No. of turn through 0.37 m long solenoid = 90,428.94 turn/m × 0.37

= 33,458.71 turns

How can a volcano develop in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Volcanoes that form away from plate boundaries are created by hotspots. A hotspot is an area in the mantle that is believed to be somewhat hotter than the surrounding material. The rising magma from the hotspot can push its way through the crust and burst out at the surface, forming a volcano.
