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)

Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, an
suter [353]

Answer:

J = 357.5 kg*m/s

Explanation:

  • The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
  • Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:

       p_{o} = m*v_{o} = 55 kg * (-3.0 m/s)  (1)

  • By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:

       p_{f} = m*v_{f} = 55 kg * (3.5 m/s)  (2)

  • As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):

      J = p_{f} - p_{o} = m* (v_{f} -v_{o}) = 55 kg* (3.5m/s- (-3.0m/s)) = 357.5 kg*m/s (3)

A traffic light of weight 100 N is supported by two ropes that make 30-degree angle with the horizontal. What is the vertical co
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

T_{vertical} = 50 N

Explanation:

given,

traffic light weight = 100 N

angle at which the rope is supported = 30°

vertical component of force = ?

2 T sin \theta= W

2 T sin 30^0= 100

T = \dfrac{100}{2 sin 30^0}

T = 100\ N

T_{vertical} = T sin 30^0

T_{vertical} = 100\times \dfrac{1}{2}

T_{vertical} = 50 N
