The law of conservation of energy<span> is a </span>law<span> of science that states that </span>energy<span> cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from </span>one<span> form into another or transferred from </span>one object to another. In my personal opinion, lets think of a example like this water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity. In this process, the potential energy of water in a dam can be turned into kinetic energy which can then become electric energy.<span>

The total energy of an isolated system remains constant it would be said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, instead it transforms from one form to another. Satellites in space and pendulums are examples of conservation of energy.

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?

viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

$\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}$

It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
It is represented by p.
It's SI unit is kg m/s
Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: $\boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}$

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg$

$\therefore$ Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

7. 13 a turbine receives steam at 6 mpa, 600°c with an exit pressure of 600 kpa. Assume the turbine is adiabatic and neglect kin

AnnyKZ [126]

The work done by the turbine will be 708.2 kJ/kg. The work done by the turbine is the difference of the enthalpy at inlet and exit.

<h3 /><h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature directs the hotness or coldness of a body. In clear terms, it is the method of finding the kinetic energy of particles within an entity. Faster the motion of particles, more the temperature.

If the given turbine is assumed to be reversible;

$\rm P_I$ (Initial pressure)=60 mpa = 60 bar

$\rm T_i$ (Initial temperature)=600° C

$\rm P_e$ (Exit pressure)=600 kpa=6 bar

The heat balance equation is;

$\rm q-W_t=h_e-h_i\\\\ q=0\\\\\ W_t=h_i-h_e$

The change in the entropy is;

$\rm S_2-S_1=\frac{\delta q}{dt}$

The work done by the turbine is;

$\rm W_t = h_i-h_e\\\\ W_t =3658.4 -29.5019\\\\ W_t =708.2 \ kJ/kg$

Hence,the work done by the turbine will be 708.2 kJ/kg.

Which property of sugar makes it different from white crystalline sand?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The property of sugar which makes it different from sand is that sugar can dissolve in water. Explanation: however the power of dissolving of sand is not present. This is due to the presence of interaction between sugar and water.

Explanation:
