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.

Snell's Law: Light traveling through water comes to a glass surface at an angle of incidence of

Lerok [7]

Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.

Space Station Suppose a space-station is designed in s shape of a torus such as the one depicted in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A s

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

w = 3.2 rev / min

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the centrine acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity

a = v² / r

Angular and linear variables are related.

v = w r

Let's replace

a = w² r = g

w = √ g / r

r = d / 2

r = 175/2 = 87.5 m

w = √( 9.8 / 87.5)

w = 0.3347 rad / s

Let's reduce to rotations per min

w = 0.3347 rad / s (1 rov / 2pi rad) (60 s / 1 min)

w = 3.2 rev / min

Suppose the space station rotates counterclockwise, we have two possibilities for the car

The first car turns counterclockwise (same direction of the station

$v_{c}$ = $w_{c}$ r

[texwv_{c}[/tex] = $v_{c}$ / r

[texwv_{c}[/tex] = 25.0 / 87.5

[texwv_{c}[/tex] = 0.286 rad / s

When the two rotate in the same direction their angular speeds are subtracted

w total = w -[texwv_{c}[/tex]

w total = 0.3347 - 0.286

w total= 0.487 rad / s

The car goes in the opposite direction of the station the speeds add up

w = 0.3347 + 0.286

w = 0.62 rad / s

From this values we can see that the person feels a variation of the acceleration of gravity, feels that he has less weight when he goes in the same direction of the season and that his weight increases when he goes in the opposite direction to the season.
