Imagine you transfer heat into a gas. This heat splits up in two different ways: Additional thermal energy making the gas hotter

and “fuel” for the gas to do work. Let’s suppose, 64% of the transferred heat transforms into thermal energy. How many percent of the initial heat can be used to do work?

Answer:

  • <u>36% of the initial heat can be used to do work.</u>

Explanation:

The initial heat is the 100%, i.e. it is all the heat that will be transferred.

It wil be transferred into two different kinds of energy:

  • additional thermal energy that will increase the thermal energy of the gas, making it hotter. Call it U. U = 64%. And,

  • "fuel" for the gas to do work. Call it W.

Then,

  • 100% = U + W
  • W = 100% - U
  • W = 100% - 64% = 36%

That is, 36% of the initial heat is available to do work.

Two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference
777dan777 [17]

Two light waves will interfere constructively if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

<h3>SUPERPOSITION</h3>

The principle of superposition state that, when two or more waves meet at a point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements of the individual waves at that point.

Interference of waves can either be constructive, or destructive.

The two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number of wavelenght 1λ, 2λ, 3λ, 4λ etc

The equivalent phase differences between the waves will be 2\pi or 360 degrees, 4\pi or 720 degrees, 6\pi 1080 degrees etc

Therefore, the two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

Darya [45]
<span>As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is kinetic friction.

We exert force to move the object from rest and in this case, static friction works. But, when the object comes in motion, then kinetic friction works. Here, since the car is driving without slipping means, kinetic friction acts on it. Its also called sliding or dynamic friction.</span>

What is the mass of a car that has a kinetic energy if 4,320,000 J moving at 23 m/s?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

which is 4320000=1/2×m×23^2.

which is 4320000=1/2×m×529.

4320000=264.5m.

m=4320000/264.5.

m=16332.70~16333g

Gekata [30.6K]
<span>you can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

</span><span>to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :) 
</span><span>physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized 

</span><span>the chemical changes of oxidation magnesium looses electrons to form oxides, this is a chemical reaction- chemical change..--- use to get the density use (rho) or density D = M/V</span>

Why does the current is reduced as electrons move through a conductor
hammer [34]
Because the electrons collide with the particles inside the conductor so are therefore slowed down seen as current is the rate of flow of electrons
