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.

What is the formula of finding displacement​
xenn [34]
Displacement is the final position of the object minus the initial position of the object.
Xf - Xi. Displacement is not the distance of the object. If you go to the right 10m and to the left another 10m, your displacement is 0m. But your distance is 20m

A 2 feet piece of wire is cut into two pieces and once a piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral t
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.

each side of square = x/4

area of square = ( x /4 )²

Each side of triangle

= (2-x) /3

Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60

= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²

Total area

A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²

For maximum area

dA/dx = 0

1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0

x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0

x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0

x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9

x(.125 +.096 ) = .192

x = .868 ft

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The mirror in these telescopes will be constructed from many smaller mirrors which will work together.

Explanation:

A telescope is defined as an optical instrument that is used to observe or view the distant objects. A telescope is made up of curved lenses or mirrors or by combining both.

In the context, both the US and the Europeans are planning to make a telescope which is 30 m and 39 m respectively. This could be possible as the mirrors that are used to make these telescope will be made from a many smaller mirrors that will work together as a single large mirror having a very large aperture.

Moving with a speed of v km/hour, a train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km, in t hours. Find the
NARA [144]
<h2>Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

A train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km

Distance between A and B = 600 km

Speed of train = v

Time taken by train = t

We know that

              Distance traveled = Speed of travel x Time taken

              600 = v x t

               v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr

Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr
