Describe an imaginary process that satisfies the second law but violates the first law of thermodynamics.

Physics

N76 [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

First last of thermodynamics, just discusses the changes that a system is undergoing and the processes involved in it. It explains conservation of energy for a system undergoing changes or processes.

Second law of thermodynamics helps in defining the process and also the direction of the processes. It tells about the possibility of a process or the restriction of a process. It states that the entropy of a system always increases.

For this to occur the energy contained by a body has to diminish without converting to work or internal energy. So imagine a machine which works with less than efficiency, this means there are losses but they don’t show up anywhere. But the energy is obtained from a higher energy source to lower.

The easy way to do this is with an imaginary device that extracts zero-point energy to heat a quantity of gas. Energy is being created, so the first law is violated, and the entropy of the system is increasing as the gas heats up.

First law is violated since the energy conversion don't apply but the direction of work is applied so second law is satisfied.

If vector C is added to vector D, the result is a third vector that is perpendicular to D and has a magnitude equal to 3D. What
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

C^2=R^2+D^2

C^2=(3D)^2+D^2

C^2=9D^2+D^2

C^2=10D^2

C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D

\frac{C}{D}=3.2

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

(e) 3.2

A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 23.5 min at 74.5 km/h, 15.9 min at 111 km/h, 49.2 min at 38.7 k
Drupady [299]
The product of speed and time is distance. To calculate the total distance you multiple the speed in kilometers per second by the time at that speed in seconds, do this for all 3 different speeds then add them up, the 17.4 minutes eating does not affect the answer at all. to convert from minutes to seconds multiply time in minutes by 60, to convert from km/h to km/s divide km/h by 3600.

(23.5x60)x(74.5/3600) = 29.2km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(15.9x60)x(111/3600) = 29.4km (rounded to 1 decimal place)
+
(49.2x60)x(38.7/3600) = 31.7km
=90.3km

The brackets are not necessary but i think it makes it more clear what is happening in your working.

sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he
podryga [215]

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89
