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

The cheetah is one of the fastest-accelerating animals, because it can go from rest to 16.2 m/s (about 36 mi/h) in 2.4 s. If its

<h2>Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of energy to time.

Here we need to consider kinetic energy,

Mass, m = 102 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 16.2 m/s

Time, t = 2.4 s

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Initial velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 0² = 0 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Final velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 16.2² = 13384.44 J

Change in energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Change in energy = 13384.44 - 0

Change in energy = 13384.44 J

Power = 13384.44 ÷ 2.4 = 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength= $\lambda=410 nm$

$\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

$\theta=14.5^{\circ}$

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

$(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta$

Substitute the values

$(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5$

$d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}$

$d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm$

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm

Create a story of a “day in the life of a water drop”. Your story should be creative and include all 6 steps in the water cycle.

pogonyaev

Answer:

Explanation:

Ok so first: the evaporation part, the sun starts to get warmer I ( the water droplet) rises up to the sky to start my evaporation cycle

Condensation: part: when I am in the air I change into a gas and then I change back into a liquid and gather my friends and make a cloud

Precipitation: as it gets to crowded, we can’t hold it anymore, when I cool down I like to sky dive with my cousins, snow, rain, sleet, hail which is called precipitation.

Then finally we land on the ground, we run down hills, and run into lakes surface runoff happens when there’s too many of us so some of us can’t be rain. Infiltration: when some of us soak into the ground cause we can’t make it into the streams and oceans. Ok I can’t help much more cause I’m super busy but if you need more help just message me and I can help thx ! Hope I helped Atleast a bit for you to understand more
