Explain the importance of wearing your seatbelt using Newton’s laws and motion

Physics
1 answer:
Elis [28]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states: "an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force."

When you're riding in a vehicle, your body is moving forward.  When the vehicle slows or turns, your body's inertia continues to move you forward.  The seatbelt is the unbalanced force that pushes you back into your seat.  Without it, you would slide off your seat.

A proposed ocean thermal-energy conversion (OTEC) system is a heat engine that would operate between warm water (16°C) at the oc
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

3.46 %

Explanation:

We have given cooler temperature that is T_c = 6°C =273+6=279 K

And the warm temperature of water that is T_h=16^{\circ}C=16+273=289\ K

The maximum possible efficiency is given by \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

So maximum efficiency \eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}=1-\frac{279}{289}=0.0346=3.46 %

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

Frank wrote several statements to summarize the relationship between the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Kaylis [27]
First law is Conservation of Energy

Second is that entropy of an isolated system will always increase with time.

Entropy is the change of disorder through time. The best statement which relates to the 2nd law is C. Thermal energy flows from areas of higher to lower temperature
