Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.
The correct answer is letter D. Anemometer. It is a device that is used to measure wind speed. It is a very common weather station instrument and is available to use and to make. Anemos, from the greek word that means wind.
Answer:
The system loses 90 kJ of heat
Explanation:
We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:
where
is the change in internal energy of the system
is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)
is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)
In this problem, we have:
is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)
is the increase in internal energy
Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:
And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.
When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move.
Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
