The universe is sometimes described as an isolated system. Why?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer and Explanation :The universe means it includes everything, even the things which we can not see is an isolated system because universe has no surroundings. an isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings.Sometime universe is treated as isolated system because it obtains lots of energy from the sun but the exchange of matter or energy with outside is almost zero.

the total energy of an isolated system is always constant means total energy of universe is also constant
there is no exchange of matter or energy in an isolated system

Answer:

There is not going to be pressure build up in the system,that is isobaric process.

Explanation:

Assumptions to be made

1. No mass is gained or lost during the heating process.

2. There are no friction losses,so work is transmitted efficiently.

3. It was started the water in the drum and its surrounding have same temperature.

4. This system is closed,so there is no mass transfer across its boundaries.

Describe with an example how corroded structures can lead to environment pollution?

raketka [301]

According to EonCoat, corrosion is the process of decay on a material caused by a chemical reaction with its environment. Corrosion of metal occurs when an exposed surface comes in contact with a gas or liquid, and the process is accelerated by exposure to warm temperature, acids, and salts.” (1)
Although the word ‘corrosion’ is used to describe the decay of metals, all natural and man-made materials are subject to decay, and the level of pollutants in the air can speed up this process.

Answer:

d) Binary

Explanation:

Binary search is a search algorithm that finds the position of a value in an ordered array. It compares the value with the element in the middle of the array, if they are not equal, half in which the value cannot be eliminated and the search continues in the remaining half until the value is found.

I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr

Alina [70]

Answer:

Δx = 25 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:

1 ) Egg falling:

If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:

yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²

If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:

0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²

⇒ t = $\sqrt{(100*2)/32.15}$ = 2.5 sec.

2) Person on the ground running away:

In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.

We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:

v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)

If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:

xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.
