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)

Justin Bieber is thrown horizontally at 10.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 122.5 m high.
sveticcg [70]

===>  Distance fallen from rest in free fall =

                                         (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

                               (122.5 m) = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²):   (122.5 m / 4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                                                           (122.5/4.9) s²  =  time²

Take the square root of each side:    5.0 seconds


===> (Accelerating at 9.8 m/s², he will be dropping at
                               (9.8 m/s²) x (5.0 s) = 49 m/s
when he goes 'splat'.  We'll need this number for the last part.)


===> With no air resistance, the horizontal component of velocity
doesn't change.

Horizontal distance = (10 m/s) x (5.0 s)  =  50 meters .

===>  Impact velocity =  (10 m/s horizontally) + (49 m/s vertically)

                                 = √(10² + 49²)  =  50.01 m/s  arctan(10/49)

                                 =    50.01 m/s   at  11.5° from straight down,
                                                           
away from the base of the cliff.

An eastbound car travels a displacement of 80.0 Km in 45 minutes. What is the velocity
alexgriva [62]

Explanation:

d= 80km = 8000m

t = 45 min = 45/60 h

= 0.75 h

V= ?

we know that,

V = d /t

or,V= 80 km / 0.75 h

  1. or, V= 106.67 km/hr

or,V= 106.67×1000m / 3600 s

2. or, V= 29.63 m/s

Two lumps of clay having equal masses and speeds, but traveling in opposite directions, collide and stick together. Part A Which
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of clay = m

velocity is u

By use of conservation of momentum

m x u - m x u = (m + m) x v

v = 0

So, they stick together and comes to rest.
