Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

W=0

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

\Delta U=W-\Delta E

Put the value into the formula

\Delta U=0-147

\Delta U=-147\ J

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In 2019 was taken the first image of a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope, which is a network of radio telescope located in different points of the Earth, with the purpose of making a telescope of the size of the Earth.

A radio telescope is an antenna that is capable to perceive the light in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum¹.

It is important to notice that in the picture what it can be seen is the effect that the black hole has in the nearby stars.

Key terms:

¹Electromagnetic spectrum: decomposition of light in its different wavelengths (from radio waves to gamma rays).

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

When water vapor is cooled it three forms into water droplets why does this represent a conservation in mass
AVprozaik [17]
In the conservation of mass, mass is never created or destroyed in chemical reactions in the same way water is not created or destroyed it is only transferred from one form to another and its mass is always conserved.

The diagram is a real world example of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It shows how thermal energy is used to gener
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator

Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).

The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.
