An elliptical galaxy<span> is a type of </span>galaxy<span> having an approximately ellipsoidal shape and a smooth, nearly featureless brightness profile. Unlike flat spiral </span>galaxies<span> with organization and structure, they are more three-dimensional, without much structure, and their </span>stars are<span> in somewhat random orbits </span>around<span> the center.</span>

A 2,700-kg truck runs into the rear of a 1,000-kg car that was stationary. The truck and car are locked together after the colli
Leto [7]

Answer:

6200 J

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

The car is initially stationary.  The truck and car stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity.  Therefore:

m₁ u₁ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Solving for the truck's initial velocity:

(2700 kg) u = (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)

u = 4.11 m/s

The change in kinetic energy is therefore:

ΔKE = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v² − ½ m₁ u²

ΔKE = ½ (2700 kg + 1000 kg) (3 m/s)² − ½ (2700 kg) (4.11 m/s)²

ΔKE = -6200 J

6200 J of kinetic energy is "lost".

makkiz [27]

Answer: \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

The following vectors have been given: \vec{a}=3.0\widehat{i}+3.0\widehat{j}+3.0\widehat{k}\\ \vec{b}=5.0\widehat{i}+7.0\widehat{j}+6.0\widehat{k}

The angle between these two vectors can be found by:

cos\theta=\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{||\vec{a}|| ||\vec{b}||}\\&#10;||\vec{a}=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zb_z\\ \vec{a}.\vec{b}=3\times5+3\times7+3\times6=15+21+18=54

||\vec{a}||=\sqrt{3^2+3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{27}\\ ||\vec{b}||=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+6^2}=\sqrt{110}

cos\theta=\frac{54}{\sqrt{27}\times\sqrt{110}}\\=0.991\\ \Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not
Savatey [412]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.
