The average life span in the United States is about 70 years. Does this mean that it is impossible for an average person to trav

el a distance greater than 70 light years away from the Earth? (A light year is the distance that light travels in a year.) This is not a yes or no answer. Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

for the people of the Earth traveling they last much more than 70 years

Explanation:

In order to answer this answer we must place ourselves in the context of special relativity, which are the expressions for time and displacement since the speed of light has a finite speed that is the same for all observers.

 The life time of the person is 70 years in a fixed reference system in the person this time we will call their own time (t₀), when the person is placed in a ship that moves at high speed, very close to the speed of the light the time or that an observer measures on Earth, the expression for this time is

              t = t₀ 1 / √(1 - (v / c)²)

We see that if the speed of the ship is very close to the speed of light the  

the value of the root of the denominator is very high, for which for the person on Earth it measures a very large time even when the person on the ship travels has a time within its 70 years of life

In concussion, for the people of the Earth traveling they last much more than 70 years

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m
