1. If a system is isolated, the total energy within that system is constant. Consider the case of a hot cup of coffee: when it c

ools down, the energy goes into the surrounding air, causing the air to warm. If the coffee and the air are placed in an isolated chamber, the total energy of the system (coffee + air) is constant because the energy lost by the coffee is exactly equal to the energy gained by the air.
The only way for the total energy of a system to change is when it is not isolated, meaning that external forces or sources of energy interact with the system. If we want to define a system where the total energy is conserved, which one of the choices below would be the best system to consider?
A. The person
B. The person and the Earth
C. The Earth
2. Based on your answer to Question 1, why doesn’t the total energy of the Earth-person system change when the person goes up to a new height, gaining potential energy?

Answer:

1. B. The person and the Earth

2. This is because the energy gained by the person equals the energy lost by the earth,

Explanation:

1.

B. The person and the Earth

This is because the person and the earth both represent a system. A system consists of more than one item. A system consists of two or more items interacting with each other.

2. This is because, the energy of an isolated system is conserved according to the second law of thermodynamics which states that in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So, there is an exchange of energy between the person and the Earth. So, the energy gained by the person at the new height equals the energy lost by the earth. And thus, the total energy of the system remains constant.

An object has rotational inertia I. The object,initially at rest, begins to rotate with a constant angularacceleration of magnit
Tresset [83]

Answer:

L = I α t

Explanation:

given,                                          

rotational inertia = I              

initial velocity = ω₀                      

magnitude of acceleration = α      

angular momentum = L          

time = t                              

angular acceleration                                

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega-\omega_0}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega - 0}{t}

\alpha = \dfrac{\omega}{t}

ω = α t..............(1)

angular momentum                    

L = I ω                    

putting value from equation (1)

L = I α t

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 28.0 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 0.700 cm2 area is 55.
grandymaker [24]

Explanation:

It is known that wave intensity is the power to area ratio.

Mathematically,    I = \frac{P}{A}

As it is given that power is 28.0 W and area is 7 \times 10^{-5} m^{2}.

Therefore, sound intensity will be calculated as follows.

             I = \frac{P}{A}

               = \frac{28.0 W}{4 \times 3.14 \times 7 \times 10^{-5} m^{2}}

                = 0.318 \times 10^{5} W/m^{2}

or,             = 3.18 \times 10^{4} W/m^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 3.18 \times 10^{4} W/m^{2}.

22. State any three features of the electroscope.​
MatroZZZ [7]
-1- was created in the 1600 by william gilbert
-2-When the charge is positive, electrons in the metal of the electroscope are attracted to the charge and move upward out of the leaves. This results in the leaves to have a temporary positive charge and because like charges repel, the leaves separate. When the charge is removed, the electrons return to their original positions and the leaves relax
3-

An electroscope is made up of a metal detector knob on top which is connected to a pair of metal leaves hanging from the bottom of the connecting rod. When no charge is present the metals leaves hang loosely downward. But, when an object with a charge is brought near an electroscope, one of the two things can happen.
