If a system is isolated the total energy within that system is constant. Consider the case of a hot cup of coffee: when it cools

down, the energy goes into the surrounding air, causing the air to warm. If the coffee and the air are placed in an isolated chamber, the total energy of the system (coffee + air) is constant because the energy lost by the coffee is exactly equal to the energy gained by the air. The only way for the total energy of a system to change is when it is not isolated, meaning that external forces or sources of energy interact with the system. If we want to define a system where the total energy is conserved, which one of the choices below would be the best system to consider?A. The personB. The person and the EarthC. The Earth

Answer:b-The person and the earth

Explanation:

The best system will be the person and earth as a system

It is so because whatever the energy required by the person is derived from earth resource and thus by depleting the earth resource person is getting is required form of energy .

for example person want thermal energy , for this he need coal which is earth resource and thus all the energy is derived from earth and is being converted into some other form of energy.

How many times higher could an astronaut jump on the Moon than on Earth if his takeoff speed is the same in both locations (grav
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

Explanation:

Let the Astronaut has its maximum speed by which he can jump is "v"

now for the maximum height that it can jump is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 aH

now from above equation we will have

0 - v^2 = 2(-g)H

now we have

H = \frac{v^2}{2g}

now if Astronaut jump on the surface of moon with same speed

then we know that the acceleration of gravity on surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on earth

so at surface of moon we have

0 - v^2 = 2(-g/6) H

now we have

H = \frac{6v^2}{2g}

so maximum height on moon is 6 times more than the maximum height on Earth

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5220 km away, and released. It found its wa
Korolek [52]

Answer:

4.6834625323 m/s

0 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement

t = Time

Velocity is given by

v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5220000}{12.9\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow v=4.6834625323\ m/s

The bird's average velocity for the return flight is 4.6834625323 m/s

In the whole episode the bird went 5220 km away from its nest and came back. This means the displacement is zero.

Hence, the average velocity for the whole episode is 0 m/s

Help please! This question is driving me crazy
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

-10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis

Explanation:

The x component of the resultant vector is:

x = 3.14 cos(30.0°) + 2.71 cos(-60.0°)

x = 4.07

The y component of the resultant vector is:

y = 3.14 sin(30.0°) + 2.71 sin(-60.0°)

y = -0.777

Therefore, the angle between the resultant vector and the +x axis is:

θ = atan(y / x)

θ = atan(-0.777 / 4.07)

θ = -10.8°

The angle is -10.8°, or 10.8° below the +x axis.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.

Explanation:

The pressure at any point in the fluid is equal in all directions.

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion
