Answer:

D. zero

Explanation:

For momentum of an isolated or closed system to be conserved (initial momentum must equal final momentum), the net external force acting on the system must be zero.

There is always external forces acting on a system, for this system’s momentum to remain constant, all the external forces acting on the system must cancel out, so that the net external force on the system is zero.

$F_{ext} = 0$

Therefore, the correct option is "D"

D. zero

Which is normally greater, the energy in ordinary sound or the energy in ordinary light? how does the speed of sound compare to

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The energy in ordinary light is greater than the energy in ordinary sound

Energy is the ability to perform work in physics. It could exist in several different forms, such as potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, radioactive, etc. Additionally, there is heat and work, which is energy being transferred from one body to another.

Energy is a physical system's ability to perform labor. The capital letter E is a typical sign for energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the common unit. The energy produced by one newton's (1 N) worth of force acting over one meter's (1 m) worth of displacement is measured in joules (1 J). Because it is a fundamental human requirement, energy plays a significant role in our daily lives.

If all this energy is added to 50 kg of water (the amount of water in a 165-lb person) at 37 ∘C, what is the final state of the

Reika [66]

Answer:

Vapors

Explanation:

We take into account that all the energy from the lightning has been transformed into steam.

$\Delta U = Q - W\\Q = mC \Delta T\\Q = mL$

We calculate the amount of energy required by water to convert into steam.

$Q_{water} = 50 \times \times 4180 \times (100-37)\\= 1.132 \times 10^7 \ J$

$Q_{change\ to\ steam} = 50 \times 2.256 \times 106 \\= 1.128 \times 10^8 \ J$

$Q_{total} = 1.132 \times 10^7 + 1.128 \times 10^8\\= 1.126 \times 10^8 \ J$

From the lightning we received $10^{10} \ J$ of energy, out of which $1.126 \times 10^8$ has been used to convert the water into steam.

Energy left = $10^{10} - 1.126 \times 10^8 = 9.88 \times 10^9 \ J$

We use this energy to convert steam into vapors.

$Q = \Delta E$

$Q = \Delta E = mc (T_{f} - T{i})\\T_{f} = \frac {\Delta E}{mc} + T_{i}\\ \\T_{f} = 100 + \frac{9.88 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1970}\\T_{f} = 100 + 10^8\\T_{f} = 10 ^{ \ 8} \ {^ \circ } C$

With this temperature, we can easily interpret that the vapors will be dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen particles.

If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

Whitepunk [10]

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer: 283 s (nearest second)
