Which statement correctly describes the movement of thermal energy according to the second law of thermodynamics? The natural te

ndency of systems is for heat to flow from a cooler object to a warmer one. The natural tendency of systems is to evenly distribute energy until the objects are the same temperature. The natural tendency of systems is for heat to flow continuously between objects of the same temperature.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

The natural tendency of systems is to evenly distribute energy until the objects are the same.

Explanation:

Thermal equilibrium

When ever two bodies differing in temperatures comes in contact with each other heat flow takes place from hotter body to cooler body in order to establish an equilibrium in which temperature of both the bodies becomes constant.

According to second law of thermodynamics:

When the energy of the system increases, matter moves more freely and change in entropy that is disorderliness of the system increases.

This increase in entropy is due to the energy possessed by the matter particles which has resulted in their motion or movement

With this increase in entropy of system, system will start interacting with its surroundings .And this interaction will results in evenly distribution of energy in its surroundings.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
Setler [38]

Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

r=\dfrac{d}{2}

r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}

r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}

Put the value into the formula

M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

A 2 m tall, 0.5 m inside diameter tank is filled with water. A 10 cm hole is opened 0.75 m from the bottom of the tank. What is
valina [46]

Answer:

4.75 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the existing water is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Tall = 2 m

Inside diameter tank = 2m

Hole opened = 10 cm

Bottom of the tank = 0.75 m

Based on the above information, first we have to determine the height which is

= 2 - 0.75 - 0.10

= 2 - 0.85

= 1.15 m

We assume the following things

1. Compressible flow

2. Stream line followed

Now applied the Bernoulli equation to section 1 and 2

So we get

\frac{P_1}{p_g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{P_2}{p_g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2

where,

P_1 = P_2 = hydrostatic

z_1 = 0

z_2 = h

Now

\frac{v_1^2}{2g} + 0 = \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + h\\\\V_2 < < V_1 or V_2 = 0\\\\Therefore\  \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = h\\\\v_1^2 = 2gh\\\\ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_1 = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.15}

= 4.7476 m/sec

= 4.75 m/s

A 15.0-kg child descends a slide 2.40 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 1.10 m/s .
pickupchik [31]

The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *  2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it  must also be zero.

The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.

Hence, the given statement is true.
