Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J

You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.
mart [117]

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, u_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = u_y·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u_y = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

8. A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation f
pychu [463]

(a) The turtle's initial velocity is 4 m/s, initial position of the turtle is 5 cm, and initial acceleration is -1.25 m/s².

(b) The time when the velocity of the turtle is zero is 3.2 s.

(c) The time taken for the turtle to return to its starting point is 6.4 s.

(d) The time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm is 0.08 s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the turtle</h3>

The initial velocity of the turtle is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{dx}{dt} \\\\x = 5 + 4t -0.625t^2\\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\v(0) = 4-0\\\\v(0) = 4 \ m/s

<h3>Initial acceleration of the turtle</h3>

The initial acceleration of the turtle is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\a = -1.25\ m/s^2

<h3>Initial position of the turtle</h3>

x(t) = 5 + 4t - 0.625t²

x(0) = 5 cm

<h3>Time when the velocity becomes zero</h3>

v(t) = 4 - 1.25t

0 = 4 - 1.25t

1.25t = 4

t = 4/1.25

t = 3.2 s

<h3>Time taken to return to starting point</h3>

The total distance traveled is calculated as follows

v² = u² + 2ad

0 = (4)² + 2(-1.25)d

0 = 16 - 2.5d

2.5d = 16

d = 16/2.5

d = 6.4 m

Time to travel the given distance;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

6.4 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

6.4 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 6.4 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 3.2 s

The time travel the distance two times, = 2 x 3.2 s = 6.4 s

<h3>Time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm</h3>

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

0.3 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

0.3 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 0.3 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 0.08 s

Some people say you can tell if someone has HIV by looking at him or her. True or false? Why?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:False.

Explanation: HIV is a viruse that only shows symptoms after a few weeks. in Fact HIV does not show any physical symptoms. So, no you can not tell if someone has or is been infected by HIV by directly looking at them.

Have a Nice Day!!! =)
