What is the relationship between instantaneous speed and instantaneous velocity?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed is a scalar quantity.

Instantaneous velocity is a vector quantity.

Consider an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.

There is no change in speed as the object continues in a circular motion.

The acceleration however is

a = v^2 / r    because a vector representing the object is continually changing direction and the change in velocity is not zero as time increases.

Describe an imaginary process that satisfies the second law but violates the first law of thermodynamics.
N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

First last of thermodynamics, just discusses the changes that a system is undergoing and the processes involved in it. It explains conservation of energy for a system undergoing changes or processes.

Second law of thermodynamics helps in defining the process and also the direction of the processes. It tells about the possibility of a process or the restriction of a process. It states that the entropy of a system always increases.

For this to occur the energy contained by a body has to diminish without converting to work or internal energy. So imagine a machine which works with less than efficiency, this means there are losses but they don’t show up anywhere. But the energy is obtained from a higher energy source to lower.

The easy way to do this is with an imaginary device that extracts zero-point energy to heat a quantity of gas. Energy is being created, so the first law is violated, and the entropy of the system is increasing as the gas heats up.

First law is violated since the energy conversion don't apply but the direction of work is applied so second law is satisfied.

 5) You did 170 joules of work lifting a 140 N backpack. How high did you lift the backpack?          
xeze [42]
Sorry im from the UK, ill do my math in metric  :) 
5) work done = force * distance moved in direction of force

170J = 140N* ?d
170J/140N = 1.21m 

F=Ma

140N/9.81ms^-2=

14.27Kg or 31.46Ib

you could do the fast alternative simplified route to this question 

as 140/4.45 = 31.46Ib

Give real-world examples of evidence that supports the evolution of Earth in each category:
laila [671]

Answer:

real world examples

Explanation:

concave wave rock- The wave rock is formed by weathering of the surrounding area, which helps in proving the deposition part, as the wave rock was below the ground, occurred due to deposition of rock years over years. It is made from very tough material from its surrounding. The weathering reduced the surrounding terrain, while the bedrock remained to witness for the history.  --Also, volcanic eruptions have changed earth greatly. EX- Ash and sulfur went into Earth's atmosphere because of the Tambora eruption which dimmed incoming sunlight. It lowered global temperatures by about 3°F. The Mount Pinatubo of 1991 that erupted in the Philippines cooled the planet by about 1°F.
