Answer:

B temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy in a substance

Explanation:

The concept of temperature can be easily understood by looking at what happens when two objects are placed in contact with each other. By common experience, we know that the hotter object transfers heat energy to the colder object, until the two objects are in thermal equilibrium (= they have same temperature).

Thinking about the example above, we can say therefore that the temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy possessed by an object (or substance).

For a monoatomic gas, for instance, we define its internal energy as

$U=\frac{3}{2}nRT$

where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. From the formula, we see that the temperature is related to the internal energy of the gas, so measuring the temperature means indirectly measuring its internal energy.

You charge an initially uncharged 65.7-mf capacitor through a 39.1-Ï resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int

uysha [10]

In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged, when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
$Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})$
where t is the time, $Q_0 = CV$ is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and $\tau = RC$ is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using $R=39.1 \Omega$ and $C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F$ , the time constant of the circuit is:
$\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s$

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time $t=1.95 \tau$ , we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
$Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C$
And then, the charge at time $t=1.95 \tau$ is equal to
$Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C$

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be $Q_0 = 0.59 C$ . We can see this also from the previous formule, by using $t=\infty$ :
$Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C$

Two machines do thae same may have different power why

marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.

Power = Work / time

P = W / t

Derived eqation motion

N76 [4]

Answer:

As we have already discussed earlier, motion is the state of change in position of an object over time. It is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Jogging, driving a car, and even simply taking a walk are all everyday examples of motion. The relations between these quantities are known as the equations of motion.
