Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C

Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

$E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J$

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

$E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J$

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

$E_{in}=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the amount of water

$C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg$

If it takes you 30 seconds to move a chair 20 meters across the floor, using a force of 5 Newton’s, how much power did you put o

natta225 [31]

Answer:

3.33 Joules Per Second

Explanation:

Before finding the Power, we need to calculate the Work Done. The Work Done can be calculated using the formula:

WD = F × d

where F is the Magnitude of Force in <em>N</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>d is the Parallel Distance moved by the object in <em>m</em><em>.</em>

Hence, by Applying this formula, we get:

WD = (5)(20)

= 100 J

From here calculating Power is simple as it is the Rate of Work Done. Hence,

Power = 100/30

= <u>3</u><u>.</u><u>3</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>J</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>

Therefore, the power put out is <u>3</u><u>.</u><u>3</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>J</u><u>o</u><u>u</u><u>l</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>p</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>S</u><u>e</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u>.</u>

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its speed is 4m/s. But 3 seco

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

6 m/s^2

Explanation:

The average acceleration of the car is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time elapsed

For the car in this problem,

v = 22 m/s

u = 4 m/s

t = 3 s

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is

$a=\frac{22 m/s-4 m/s}{3 s}=6 m/s^2$
