Describes the first law of thermodynamics

Physics
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Thermodynamics is usually defined as a branch of physics that deals with the study of the heat and various form of energy, and their interaction between the.

The first law says that heat appears as energy, and it cannot be produced and also cannot be demolished. It can only change from one form to another. This signifies that the total amount of energy present in the universe remains constant.

This first law can be mathematically represented as:

ΔU = Q - W

where ΔU = Changes occurring in the internal energy

              Q = amount of heat added to the system

              W = Amount of work done by the system

A 1.70 kg block slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface until it encounters a spring with a force constant of 955 N/m. The
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 1.7 kg

force constant of the spring, k = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

From principle of conservation of energy

kinetic energy of the block = elastic potential energy of the spring

¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²

mv²  = kx²

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }

where;

v is the initial speed of the block

x is the compression of the spring

v = \sqrt{\frac{955*(0.046)^2}{1.7} } \\\\v = 1.09 \ m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

Given the resistivities below, which material is best described as an insulator?
koban [17]

Answer: D) 3.2 × 10^8

Explanation: Insulators are best described as materials which are poor conductors of electricity and hence do not allow passage of electricity through them. Resistivity are hence used to describe property or characteristic of a material which does not allow the flow or passage of electric current.

In summary, materials which high resistivity values are referred to as Insulators. Conversely, those with low resistivity or high conductivity values are called conductors while those with intermediate values are named semiconductors.

In the question given above, the material with a resistivity value of 3.2 × 10^8 - - - has a very high resistivity value (320000000Ω), the other options given have very low resistivity values ; 0.0000000017, etc and are most likely to be conductors due to their excessively low resistivity values.

The brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 5.0 m/s2. If you are going 135 km/h and suddenly see a s
poizon [28]

Answer:

3.33 seconds

Explanation:

We can use the velocity formula [ v = u + at ] to solve.

Find the value "u".

135km/h -> 135km*1000m/3600s -> 37.5m/s

Find the value "v".

75km/h -> 75km*1000m/3600s -> 20.83m/s

Keep in mind we are dealing with "deceleration" so when we input 5.0m/s into the formula, it will be a negative value.

Now, find "t" which is the value we aren't given with the values we're given in the question.

20.83 = 37.5 - 5t

-16.67 = -5t

3.33 = t

Best of luck!

A sailboat is traveling across the ocean with a speed of 4 m/s when large gusts of wind pick up that starts to accelerate the sa
MatroZZZ [7]
Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

acceleration due to gusts of wind = 3 m/s^2

time, t = 1 min = 60 s

Let distance travelled = S

From equation of motion,

S = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\  \\ S = 4 \times 60 +   \frac{1}{2}  \times 3 \times  {60}^{2}  \\  \\ S = 240 + 5400 \\  \\ S = 5640 \: m

Thus, the boat would have traveled 5640m after gusts picked up.
