Answer:

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system.

ΔU = Q - W

Where;

Q, the net heat transfer into the system depends on the pathway

W, the net work done by the system also depends on the pathway

But, ΔU, the change in internal energy is independent of pathway

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway

What is non uniform velocity

saul85 [17]

Answer:

"Non-uniform velocity" occurs when an object changes its velocity upon motion. This happens when the object either accelerates or decelerates (negative acceleration) in its speed or changes its direction.

Explanation:

"Velocity" refers to speed with a specific direction.

If the velocity is uniform, there's no change in speed and direction. However, if changes occur on either the speed, direction or both, then the velocity becomes variable or non-uniform.

For example, when it comes to a moving car, it is said to be in non-uniform velocity if the distances covered is unequal in relation to the equal intervals of time.

Can someone explain to me #4.

nalin [4]

A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be $v_{AT}=v_A-v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed), where $v_A$ is the speed of the automobile and $v_T$ the speed of the train.

So we have $v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h$ .

So the train (anyone in fact) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

$t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s$

And in that time the car would have traveled (relative to the ground):

$d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km$

If they are traveling in opposite directions, we have to do all the same but using $v_{AT}=v_A+v_T$ (the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed), so repeating the process:
