These are all the characteristics of what is called the adiabatic process. This process occurs when there is no transfer of heat between the surroundings and the thermodynamic system. This is a key process for thermodynamics and it is of great importance for the first law of thermodynamics.

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface and
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

F = Force exerted on spring = 3 N

k = Spring constant = 60 N/m

x = Displacement of the block

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

Fx=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2F}{k}

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2\times 3}{60}

\\\Rightarrow x=0.1\ m

The position of the block is 0.1 from the initial position.

A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 206-g cube of
spayn [35]

Answer:

Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Explanation:

For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same

A specific heat formula is given as                  

Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature

                                       Q =  m×c×ΔT

                        Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper  = 0    (1)

For Aluminium:

      Q = m\times0.897\frac{J}{g.k}\times(25-5)

      Q = m x 17.94 joule

For Copper:

Q= 206g\times0.385\frac{J}{g.k} \times(88-25)

       Q= 4996.53 Joule

from eq 1

     m x 17.94 = 4996.53

     mass of aluminium = \frac{4996.53}{17.94} g

    Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g

Balanced forces can change an<br> object's direction.<br> A. True<br> B. False
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Balanced forces result in a net force of 0N. This means no direction or acceleration change will be applied to the object. A torque may be applied, but with no other external forces, the object will not move.
