The first law of thermodynamics is expresses by

D. ΔU=Q-W

which means change in internal energy of system = Heat added to system minus work done by the system

All are expressed in Joules.

This law is based on principle of conservation of energy.

Answer:

(d) is the correct option ''\Delta U=Q-W''

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states the law of conservation of energy i. e. heat energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. The mathematical expression that show the first law of thermodynamics is as follows:

\Delta U=Q-W

Where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy

Q is the amount if heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

Hence, the correct option is (d)

A mine elevator is supported by a single steel cable 0.0125 m in diameter. The total mass of the elevator cage and occupants is
Sonja [21]

Answer:

0.8895m

Explanation:

Cable diameter = 0.0125m

Mass of elevator = 6450kg

Young Modulus(E) = 2.11*10¹¹N/m

∇l (change in length) =

L = 362m

A = Πr², but r = d / 2 = 0.0125 / 2 = 0.00625m

A = 3.142 * (0.00625)² = 1.227*10^-4m²

Young Modulus (E) = Tensile stress / Tensile strain

E = (F / A) / ∇l / L

F = mg = 6450 * 9.8 = 63210N

2.11*10¹¹ = (63210 / 1.22*10^-4) / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = 5.18*10⁸ / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = (5.18*10⁸ * 362) / ∇l

2.11*10¹¹ = 1.875*10¹¹ / ∇l

∇l = 1.875*10¹¹ / 2.11*10¹¹

∇l = 0.8895m

The change in length is 0.8895m

A copper wire and a tungsten wire of the same length have the same resistance. What is the ratio of the diameter of the copper w
spayn [35]

Answer:

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.

The resistance of a wire is

  1. directly proportional to its length i.eR\propto l
  2. inversely proportional to its cross section area i.eR\propto \frac{1}{A}

Therefore

R=\rho\frac{l}{A}

ρ is the resistivity.

The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).

The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m

For copper:

A=\pi r_1^2 =\pi (\frac{d_1}{2} )^2

R_1=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 }

\Rightarrow (\frac{d_1}{2})^2=\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }......(1)

Again for tungsten:

R_2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2 }

\Rightarrow (\frac{d_2}{2})^2=\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }........(2)

Given that R_1=R_2   and    l_1=l_2

Dividing the equation (1) and (2)

\Rightarrow\frac{ (\frac{d_1}{2})^2}{ (\frac{d_2}{2})^2}=\frac{\rho_1\frac{l_1}{\pi R_1 }}{\rho_2\frac{l_2}{\pi R_2 }}

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}   [since R_1=R_2   and    l_1=l_2]

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}}

\Rightarrow( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )=\sqrt{\frac{3}{10}}

\Rightarrow d_1:d_2=\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}

Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is

\sqrt{3} :\sqrt{10}
