Answer:
First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator
Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).
The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.
When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature
the heat (energy) you must give to it is
where
is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin) because on the temperature scale a
difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin
The force is given by the product of mass and the acceleration thus the force is given
8480/32 is equal to 265 kg
Answer:
Decreases/Reduces
Explanation:
Fill in the blank:
Consider the equation Work = Force X Distance.
<em>If a machine increases the distance over which a force is exerted, the force
</em>
<em>required to do a given amount of work</em> .........
If the work is a constant value, then by isolating force from the equation, we get:
Force = Work / Distance
By increasing the value of the Distance, then the quotient Work. Distance diminishes, and therefore the required force decreases (diminishes, reduces)
Answer: Decreases/Reduces
The gravitational force on the car is
(9.8 m/s^2) x (the car's mass in kg).
The unit is newtons.
