No, it does not because the diagram shows all the thermal energy added to the system being transformed into work. The second law of thermodynamics states that engines or machines cannot be 100 percent efficient because some thermal energy is released to the surroundings.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.

when a ball is dropped it is easy to see that earth exerts a force on it. why cant you tell that the ball exerts a force on it.

inn [45]

Because the distance that each object moves is in inverse proportion to their masses. That means the earth moves such a little tiny tiny tiny bit that you can't see it. but you're right. It's important to understand that when you drop a ball the ball and the earth both move toward each other.

11) The average acceleration of the sprinter is 2 m/s².

13) The skier will be moving as 11 m/s speed.

14) 0.56 seconds is required by the rattle snake to reach the speed of 28 m/s from rest.

Answer:

Explanation:

8) Acceleration of the car is determined by finding the ratio of change in velocity to the time taken for the change in velocity. As here the initial velocity is 18.5 m/s and the final velocity is 46.1 m/s, then in 2.47 seconds, the acceleration is

Acceleration = (46.1-18.5)/2.47 = 11.17 m/s².

Acceleration of the car is 11.17 m/s².

9)Similarly, the acceleration of the skater with initial velocity zero to final velocity as 5.7 m/s in 10 seconds is

Acceleration = (5.7-0)/10=0.57 m/s².

So acceleration of skater is 0.57 m/s².

10) In this case, the shuttle bus is stopping so its speed is decreasing from high value to low value. This kind of acceleration related to the decrease in velocity is termed as deceleration as the value of acceleration will be coming as negative.

Acceleration = (0-9)/5=-1.8 m/s².

So the deceleration is 1.8 m/s².

11) Average acceleration of sprinter = (Final velocity-Initial velocity)/Time

Average acceleration = (7.5-5)/1.25=2 m/s².

So the average acceleration of the sprinter is 2 m/s².

12)Since the acceleration of the stroller is given as 0.6 m/s². And the initial velocity is given as zero. So for the time of 4.75 minutes, the velocity will be equal to the final velocity.

As per equations of motion,

v = u +at

As u =0, a = 0.6 m/s² and t = 4.75 ×60 s = 285 s

So v = 0.6×285 = 171 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the stroller after 4.75 minutes is 171 m/s.

13) Similarly, in this case, u = 0, a = 2.2 m/s² and t = 5 s

Then v = u+at=0+(2.2×5)=11 m/s

So the skier will be moving as 11 m/s speed.

14) Here a = 50 m/s² and v = 28 m/s with u = 0 so time taken to reach the speed of 28 m/s is

v = u +at = 0+ (50 t)

28 = 50 t

t = 28/50 = 0.56 s

So 0.56 seconds is required by the rattle snake to reach the speed of 28 m/s from rest.

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a sled. The first child exerts a

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Please, read the anser below

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the acceleration of the children you use the Newton second law for the summation of the implied forces:

$F_2-F_1-F_f=Ma$ (1)

Where is has been used that the motion is in the direction of the applied force by the second child

F2: force of the second child = 92N

F1: force of the first child = 79N

Ff: friction force = 5.5N

M: mass of the third child = 24kg

a: acceleration of the third child = ?

You solve the equation (1) for a, and you replace the values of the other parameters:

$a=\frac{F_2-F_1.F_f}{M}=\frac{96N-79N-5.5N}{24kg}=0.48\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration is 0.48m/s^2

2. The system of interest is the same as before, the acceleration calculated is about the motion of the third child.

3. An image with the diagram forces is attached below.

4. If the friction would be 150N, the acceleration would be zero, because the friction force is higher than the higher force between children, which is 92N.

Then, the acceleration is zero
