How can the continuous addition of heat in a closed system cause it to explode?

Answer:

The heat builds pressure

Explanation:

Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

voltage across the three resistor, V = 1.5 V

power dissipated by the resistors, P = 3.00 W

the resistance of each resistor, = R

The effective resistance of the three resistors is given by;

R(effective) = R/3

Apply ohms law to determine the current delivered by the source;

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 3V/R

Also, power is calculated as;

P = IV

P = (3V/R) x V

P = 3V²/R

R = 3V² / P

R = (3 x 1.5²) / 3

R = 2.25 Ω

Therefore, the value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

You are sitting on the beach and wondering about the properties of mechanical waves. Describe them in terms of ocean waves.
Rudiy27

Answer:

The ocean waves is a mechanical wave that transmits mechanical energy in the wave by the synchronized and repeated oscillation of the waters about an equilibrium level such that as the wave approaches the shoreline, and the water depth decreases, the height of the wave also increases reflecting the effective transmission of energy while the medium which is the water through which the wave propagates, move back and forth within a small region

Explanation:

A mechanical wave like other waves is the oscillation of a field about an equilibrium level. In mechanical waves, the field consists of the oscillating matter such that the wave transmits energy through a medium. The displacement of the medium through which the wave energy is limited such that the wave energy is conserved to travel far.

Please help me with my physics I do not understand! Please provide work thank you.

Fe=K Q1/Q2/d2
Q1 is the first charge
Q2 is the second charge
d is the distance
K= 9x10^9 NM^2/C2
Now let’s plug the numbers
Fe=9x10^9NM^2/C2 (2x10^-4C)(8x10^-4C) / (0.3m^2) you notice we took away the negative charges when we plugged the charges
Ok now we notice that we have C2 which is C to the power 2 we can write it as C^2 and we have two CSU’s beside each one of the charges we can get rid of them all by curtailment
And we can curtailment the M^2and the other M^2
Now we left with only 9x10^9N (2x10^-4)(8x10^-4)/ 0.3
Let’s multiply the (9)(2)(8)=144
And add the exponents (9)+(-4)+(-4)=1
So now we got 144x10N divide by the distance which is 0.3
144x10N / 0.3 = 4800N
Hope it helps u understand :)
