Explanation:

Let's start with the most basic thing that is to clarify what thermodynamics is.

Thermodynamics is in charge of studying heat transfers, the capacity of a system to produce work and how energy is converted. Systems that contain <u>particles </u>are studied in this area, rather than systems that contain atoms or molecules.

Now these systems are those that are part of the universe, such as a gas.

There are laws of thermodynamics to explain all this, and they are not theoretical studies but rather studies based on experiences that are directly associated with the aforementioned systems in a state of equilibrium.

These laws are:

  • Zero principle of thermodynamics: It establishes that when two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with a third one, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
  • First principle of thermodynamics: It establishes the relationship between work and the transferred heat that is exchanged in a system through internal energy.
  • Second principle of thermodynamics: It states that not all heat can be transformed into mechanical work, although all mechanical work can be transformed into heat.
  • Third principle of thermodynamics: It is the least important of the laws. It is related to the etropy of a substance that is null, and details its behavior when it approaches absolute zero.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

The acceleration is exactly 40 mi/h² as shown

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 30 mi/h

final velocity of the car, v = 50 mi/h

change in velocity, ΔV = v - u

                               ΔV = 50 mi/h - 30 mi/h = 20 mi/h

initial time, t₁ = 2:00 PM

final time, t₂ = 2:30 PM

Change in time, Δt = t₂ - t₁

                           Δt = 2: 30 - 2:00 = 30 mins  = 0.5 hour

Acceleration is given as change in velocity per change in time;

a = ΔV /  Δt

a = \frac{20 \ mi/h}{0.5 \ h}\\\\a = 40 \ mi/h^2 \ (shown)\\\\

Therefore, the acceleration is exactly 40 mi/h² as shown.
