Which statement describes the direction of spontaneous heat flow
NISA [10]
The direction of spontaneous heat flow in a system is described by the second law of thermodynamics, which describes that the direction of spontaneous heat flow is from a region of higher heat energy to a region of lower heat energy.
Multiple statements of this law are available, such as the one presented by Carnot or the one presented by Clausius and Planck.

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of this complex machine.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bicycle

Explanation:

A compound machine is a machine which is a combination of simple machines.

Simple machines are like the pulley, inclined plane or a screw.

Suppose a bicycle is considered, it has more than one simple machine combined together, for it to work. Wheel and axle is one of them and the beam which is pivoted at a fixed hinge is another simple machine in it.

The pedals of the bicycle function as the lever.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 210 Nm is compressed by 20 cm and then used to launch a 250 g box across the floor. The
Damm [24]

Answer:

ugmd = 1/2 kx²

d = (1/2 kx²) / (ugm)

= (1/2 * 250 N/m * (0.2 m)²) / (0.23 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.3 kg)

= 7.4 m

ugmd = 1/2 mv²

v = √2ugd

= √(2(0.23)(9.81 m/s²)(7.4 m)

= 5.8 m/s
