Hot coffee in a mug cools over time and the mug warms up. Which describes the energy in this system?

Physics

Travka [436]3 years ago

Answer:  option 3

The heat energy from the coffee is transferred to the mug. This is because of entropy change. For a certain time period the coffee release the heat to the adjacent walls of the mug. But after certain period of time both the mug and coffee reaches to the same temperature i.e., they become under equilibrium state.

And also over the time period the heat may also transfers to the surroundings and the mug will cool down and matches to the surrounding temperature.

Answer: Thermal energy from the coffee is transferred to the mug.

Explanation:

Heat loss will occur due to convection radiation and conduction

The mug gains heat from the coffee by conduction

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.

If a car travels 216 kilometers in 4 hours, calculate its speed.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Speed(m/s) = distance(m)/time(s)

distance = 216 km = 216,000 m

time = 4 hours = 14,400 s

speed = 216000/14400 = 15 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of which of the following types of forces?magnetic
Tju [1.3M]
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force </h2><h2 />

Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.  

In this sense, the following forces are conservative:  

-Gravitational  

-Elastic

-Electrostatics  

While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.

According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.
