Answer:

The earliest known life-forms are putative fossilized microorganisms, found in hydrothermal vent precipitates, that may have lived as early as 4.28 Gya (billion years ago), relatively soon after the oceans formed 4.41 Gya, and not long after the formation of the Earth 4.54 Gya.

A 1.50-kg iron horseshoe initially at 550°C is dropped into a bucket containing 25.0 kg of water at 20.0°C. What is the final te
Ber [7]

Answer:

Te =  23.4 °C

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of iron horseshoe, m = 1.50 kg

- The initial temperature of horseshoe, Ti_h = 550°C

- The specific heat capacity of iron, ci = 448 J/kgC

- The mass of water, M = 25 kg

- The initial temperature of water, Ti_w = 20°C

- The specific heat capacity of water, cw = 4186 J/kgC

Find:-

What is the final temperature of the water–horseshoe system?

Solution:-

- The interaction of horseshoe and water at their respective initial temperatures will obey the Zeroth and First Law of thermodynamics. The horseshoe at higher temperature comes in thermal equilibrium with the water at lower temperature. We denote the equilibrium temperature as (Te) and apply the First Law of thermodynamics on the system:

                             m*ci*( Ti_h - Te) = M*cw*( Te - Ti_w )

- Solve for (Te):

                             m*ci*( Ti_h ) + M*cw*( Ti_w ) = Te* (m*ci + M*cw )

                             Te = [ m*ci*( Ti_h ) + M*cw*( Ti_w ) ] / [ m*ci + M*cw ]

- Plug in the values and evaluate (Te):

                             Te = [1.5*448*550 + 25*4186*20 ] / [ 1.5*448 + 25*4186 ]

                             Te = 2462600 / 105322

                             Te =  23.4 °C

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.

How can understanding velocity help to prevent a mid-air collision
dsp73

Answer:

To maintain enough time to prevent a collision, a system operating in air traffic where aircraft speed does not

fall below 100 km/h (most medium-sized UAVs and GA aircraft) will need to be able to detect obstacles which

subtend an arc-width of as small as 0.125 mra

You and your friends are having a discussion about weight. He/she claims that he/she weighs less on the 100th floor of a buildin
Viktor [21]

Answer:

if the weight theoretically decreases at this height, but in a fraction of 10⁻⁵, which is not appreciable in any scale, therefore, the reading of the scale in the two places is the same.

Explanation:

The weight of a person in the force with which the Earth attracts the person, therefore can be calculated using the law of universal attraction

          F = G m M / r²

Where m is the mass of the person, M the masses of the earth

Let's call the person's weight at ground level as Wo and suppose the distance to the center of the Earth is Re

            W₀ = G m M / Re²

In the calculation of the weight of the person on the 100th floor the only thing that changes is the distance

          r = Re + 100 r₀

Where r₀ is the distance between the floors, which is approximately 2.5 m, so the distance is

         r = Re + 250

We substitute

     W = G m M / r²

      W = G m M / (Re + 250)²

The value of Re is 6.37 10⁶ m, so we can take it out as a factor and perform a serial expansion of the remaining fraction

      W = G m M / Re² (1+ 250 / Re)²

      (1 + 250 / Re)⁻² = 1 + (-2) 250 / Re + (-2 (-2-1)) / 2 (250 / Re)² +….

The value of the expression is

      (1 + 250 / Re)⁻² = 1 -2 250 / 6.37 10⁶ -30 (250 / 6.37)² 10⁻¹² + ...

We can see that the quadratic term is very small, which is why we despise it, we substitute in the weight equation

      W = G m M / Re² (1 - 78.5 10⁻⁶)

Remains

     W = Wo (1 - 7.85  10⁻⁵)

We can see that if the weight theoretically decreases at this height, but in a fraction of 10⁻⁵, which is not appreciable in any scale, therefore, the reading of the scale in the two places is the same.

A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true
