Yes, the first law of thermodynamics was created using the law of conservation of energy that is applied in a thermodynamic systems.the first law of thermodynamics is the change in internal energy of an isolated system is equal to the amount of heat (Q) added to the system minus the work (w) done by the system to the surroundings . while the law of conservation of energy states that in an isolated system that energy is constant, and energy can change its form but it cannot be created or destroyed.

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…

A string attached to an airborne kite was maintained at an angle of 40.0 with the ground. if 120m of string was reeled in to ret

AleksAgata [21]

The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out.
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766
Adjacent/Hypotenuse
x/120 = cos40
Answer: 91.92533.
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

A mass on a spring with k=88.7 N/m oscillates 15 times in 9.24s. what is the objects mass? unit=kg?

sweet [91]

The mass on the spring is 0.86 kg

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by the equation

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$
