Answer and Explanation:

Internal Energy:

Internal energy associated to a system is the total amount of energy of a system excluding both the kinetic and potential energies as a whole for any external effects and is only accountable for any change in the energies of the system due to the internal order or states. It can be considered as that energy of the system essential to make it ready for any provided state.

Specific heat:

It is the specific amount of heat that is contained in a unit mass of any substance needed to bring about [tex]1^{\circ} rise in its temperature.

Entropy:

It can be defined as the degree of disorientation of the molecules or the extent of disorder of the system. It is the lack in thermal energy of the system to get converted into work (mechanical).

Temperature:

The measure of the heat intensity of a substance on a given standard scale.

a 4kg block is attatched to a vertical sspring constant 800n/m. the spring stretches 5cm down. how much elastic potential energy

kow [346]

The Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

Explanation:

Given-

Mass, m = 4 kg

Spring constant, k = 800 N/m

Distance, x = 5cm = 0.05m

Potential energy, U = ?

We know,

Change in potential energy is equal to the work done.

So,

$U = \frac{1}{2} k (x)^2\\\\$

By plugging in the values we get,

$U = \frac{1}{2} * 800 * (0.05)^2\\ \\U = 400 * 0.0025\\\\U = 1J\\$

Therefore, Potential energy stored in the system is 1 J

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m

givi [52]

Answer:

For M84:

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

$M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}$ .............(1)

For M84:

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

For M87:

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

$M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }$

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

Two resistors with values of 6.0 ohms and 12 ohms are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.
