Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not

Physics

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.

12. A boy of mass 50 kg running 5m/s jumps on to a 20kg trolley
atroni [7]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

(50)(5) + (20)(1.5) = (50 + 20) v

v = 4

The final velocity is 4 m/s.

What determines magnetism?
adelina 88 [10]
The magnetic form of a substance can be determined<span> by examining its electron configuration: if it shows unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic; if all electrons are paired, the substance is diamagnetic.</span>

The cable holding a 2125 kg elevator has a maximum strength of 21,750 N. What is the maximum upward acceleration the cable can g
vivado [14]

Answer:

10.23m/s^2

Explanation:

GIven data

mass of elevator = 2125 kg

Force= 21,750 N

Required

The maximum acceleration upward

F= ma

a= F/m

a=21,750/2125

a= 10.23m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2

A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight ws by pulling straight up on the handle. However, he is unable to lift the suit
kvasek [131]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Normal force, is always directed upward the surface over which is placed the object, and can adopt any value, as required to meet Newton's 2nd Law.

In this case, as the external force on the suitcase pulls upward, in order  to counteract the influence of gravity, normal force is less than the weight of the suitcase, as follows:

F + Fn = m*g

⇒ Fn = m*g - F

So, the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase (m*g) minus the magnitude of the force of the pull (F) which is the same expressed by the statement b.
