Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:0.084 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance d_1=8.13 km

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

v_2=v_1+at

v_2=5.6+a\times 60

distance traveled in 60 sec

d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}

d_2=336+1800 a

time taken in last part of journey

t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s

distance traveled in this time

d_3=v_2\times t_3

d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

and total distance=d_1+d_2+d_3

10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

a=0.084 m/s^2

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.
Alex17521 [72]
The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

The ransom note in the Lindbergh kidnapping case included some obvious spelling errors and other foreign and regional language.
Dimas [21]

Answer: The FBI used a technique which is called Latent Fingerprint Identification: a silver nitrate solution was used to cause a reaction of the unseen fingerprints perspiration left by the kidnappers all over the ransom notes. The reaction caused the perspiration to turn into silver chloride. This substance is white and it is also visible to the naked eye which means the fingerprints of the perpetrators were easily identifiable.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

μ = 0.309

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction is defined as the ratio of two forces, friction force and the normal force acting on the object.

θ = arctan(15/100)= 8.531⁰

In the vertical direction:

N = mgcosθ = 100 *9.8 *cos(8.531) = 970N

law of conservation of energy implies

mgsinθ - μNx = 1/2m(v₂²-v₁²)

100*9.8*sin (8.531) - μ(970*2) = 1/2(100)(0²-3²)

150.6 - 1940μ = 450

- 1940μ = -600.6

μ = 0.309
