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.

How microwave tower work?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Microwave towers are telecommunications towers that use microwaves to transmit telephone and television signals to other microwave towers.

Explanation:

This technology replaced existing transmission wires, but it is almost entirely obsolete as of 2015 due to the advent of fiber optics and other modern methods of telecommunication.

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration= $2.40m/s^{2}$ , c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = $2.40m/s^{2}$

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

$x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}$

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

$x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

$x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}$

which solves to:

$x=172.8m$

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

$a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}$

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

$at=V_{f}-V_{0}$

and finally I can add $V_{0}$ to both sides so I get:

$V_{f}=at+V_{0}$

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

$V_{f}=at+V_{0}$

$V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0$

which solves to:

$V_{f}=28.8m/s$

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %

Explanation:

we use the equality of mass flow rate and the areas

$m_1 = m_2\\p_1v_1 = p_2v_2\\p_1A_1v_1 = p_2A_2v_2\\v_2 = \frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1$

The percentage increase in velocity is

Δ v% = $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{v_1} \\$ 100%

= $\frac{p_1}{p_2} v_1 - v_1$ .100%

= $\frac{\frac{1.2}{1.015} - 1}{1}$ . 100%

= Therefore % increase in velocity is 18.23 %

Physical data is often used in the court system. In fact, police officers use radar to determine your speed when you are driving

Mashcka [7]

The driver is telling the truth, the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity.

The given parameters:

Speed of the driver observed by the stationary police officer, Vo = 44.7 m/s
Speed of the driver, V = 26.8 m/s.
Speed limit = 60 mph

The speed limit of the driver in meter per second is calculated as follows;

$= 60 \ \times \frac{miles}{hour} \times \frac{1609.34 \ m}{1 \ mile} \times \frac{1 \ hr}{3600 \ s}\\\\= 26.82 \ m/s$

From the speed limit, it is obvious that the driver's speed is within the limit. Thus, we can conclude that the driver is telling the truth, the radar gun must have been set incorrectly to record relative velocity.
