Which physical law underlies the first law of thermodynamics?

Physics

LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Conservation of energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by :

Q=\Delta U+W

Here,

Q is amount of heat added to the system

\Delta U is change in internal energy

W is amount of work done by the system

It is clear that the energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it remains conserved. Hence, first law of thermodynamics shows that conservation of energy.

In which of the following elevator situations would the acceleration be positive. Select TWO answers
kap26 [50]

Both options 5 and 6

Explanation:

Let us consider option 5,

In option 5 body is moving up with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Let us consider option 6,

In option 6 body is moving down with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
Irina18 [472]

I was about to say:  because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science. 

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news.  Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it.  The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned.  But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe
vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
  • It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
  • In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
  • As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
Archy [21]

Answer:

4m/s^2

Explanation:

mass(m)=20 kg

force=80 N

acceleration (a)=?

Therefore,

Force = mass * acceleration

80 = 20*a

a=80/20

=4m/s^2
