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

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.

a 2.35 water bucket is swung in a full cirlce of radius 0.824 m just fast enough so that the water doesn't fall out the top mean
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2.84 m/s

Explanation:

At the top position of the circular trajectory, the normal reaction is zero:

N = 0

So it means that the only force that is providing the centripetal force is the gravitational force (the weight of the bucket). Therefore we have:

mg = m \frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the water bucket

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the bucket

r = 0.824 m is the radius of the circle

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(0.824 m)}=2.84 m/s

Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$, 2$\hbar, 3$\hbar$, etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin 2$\hbar

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric
