Answer:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature.

(2) The combustion of natural gas.

Explanation:

The spontaneous process is the process in which there is a release of energy and moves towards lower energy and a more thermodynamically stable energy state. All the natural processes are spontaneous.

There are two processes which are spontaneous in the given question are:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature: In this, there is a decrease in energy and also it is a natural process and we know that all the natural processes are spontaneous.

(2) The combustion of natural gas: The fire is an example of an exothermic reaction. The combustion is a combination of a decrease in energy and an increase in entropy. So, this process occurs spontaneously.

Travka [436]

Answer:

a) 37.70 m/s

b)710.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that ;

Mass of object = 2 kg

Radius of the motion = 2m

Frequency of motion = 3 rev/s

The formula to apply is;

v= 2πrf where v is linear speed

v = 2×π×2×3 =12π = 37.70 m/s

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

a= 4×π²×r×f²

a= 4×π²×2×3²

a=710.6 m/s²

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Net pull = 110 N to the left

Explanation:

Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)

2 pull 196 N each to the right

4 pull 98 N each to the left

5 pull 62 N each to the left

3 pull 150 N each to the right

1 pull 250 N to the left

Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)

$Net Force= 2(196)+4(-98)+5(-62)+3(150)+1(-250) \\Net Force = -110$

The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left

xeze [42]

Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)
= 53.273 × 10∧3hz) ((1533 m/s - 4.5 m/s)/ (1533 m/s +11 m/s)
fo = 5408 HZ

Two cars are heading towards one another. Car A is moving with an acceleration of aA = 4 m/s2. Car B is moving with an accelerat

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position of an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the object at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration

When both cars meet, their positions are the same. At the meeting point:

position of car A = position of car B

xA = xB

x0A + v0A · t + 1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + v0B · t + 1/2 · aB · t²

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where A is located. In that case x0A = 0 and x0B = 2900 m. Since both cars are initially at rest, v0A and v0B = 0. So, the equation gets reduced to this:

1/2 · aA · t² = x0B + 1/2 · aB · t²

If we replace with the data we have and solve for t:

1/2 · 4 m/s² · t² = 2900 m - 1/2 · 11 m/s² · t²

2 m/s² · t² = 2900 m - 5.5 m/s² · t²

5.5 m/s² · t² + 2 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

7.5 m/s² · t² = 2900 m

t² = 2900 m / 7.5 m/s²

t = 19.7 s

Car B reaches car A in 19.7 s.
