1 answer:

Light travels at precisely <span>299,792,458 metres every second (abbreviated to 3 x 10^8 metres every second but let's be precise)
There are 60 seconds in every minute (</span><span>299 792 458 x 60 = 17,987,547,480m)
60 minutes in every hour (17,987,547,480 x 60 = 1,079,252,849,000m)
96 hours in 4 days (</span><span>1,079,252,849,000 x 96 = 10,360,827,350,000m)
</span><span>Now let's convert to km to make this number (slightly) more manageable
(</span>10,360,827,350,000 / 1000 = <span>103,608,273,500km)
</span>Light travels <span>103,608,273,500km in 4 days - that's the equivalent of going around the equator of the earth 813,124 times!</span><span>

In a heat engine, 700 J of heat enters the system, and the piston does 400 J of work. What is the final internal (thermal) energ

Vitek1552 [10]

The first law of thermodynamics characterises the two types of energy transfer, as heat and as thermodynamic. The final internal (thermal) energy of the system is 1,500 J.

<h3>What is internal energy?</h3>

The energy present in a system itself for conducting reactions is called internal energy.

Given,

Heat entering system (Q) = 700 J
Work done by the piston (W) = 400
Initial energy $(\rm U_{1})$ = 1200 J

According to the <u>first law of thermodynamics</u>:

$\rm Q = \Delta U + W$

Substituting values in the above equation:

$\begin{aligned}\rm Q &= \rm U_{2} - U_{1} + W\\\\\rm U_{2} &= \rm Q - W + U_{1}\\\\\rm U_{2} &= 700 - 400 + 1200\\\\&= 1500 \;\rm J\end{aligned}$

Therefore, option D. 1500 J is the final energy.

quizlet a basement is successfully sealed so that more radon may not enter the space, but 5.7×107 radon atoms are already trappe

12345 [234]

After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.

Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.

N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms

t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days

n = 25 days / 3.8 days

n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon

N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n

N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58

N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days

The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).
