Answer:
D: a buoy bobbing up and down in place with ocean waves
Explanation:
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.
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the
uneven heating rates of water and land.
The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the
day. At this rate, the air above the
land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter
than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to
rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the
land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or
replace the rising warm air.</span>
The following expression is applicable:
Max. inductor energy = Max. capacitor energy
Where;
Max. inductor energy = LI^2/2, with L = 20.0 mH, I = 0.400 A
Max. capacitor energy = CV_max^2/2, C = 0.150 micro Faraday, V_max = Max. potential difference
Substituting;
LI^2/2 = CV^2/2
LI^2 = CV^2
V^2 = (LI^2)/C
V_max = Sqrt [(LI^2)/C] = Sqrt [(20*10^-3*0.4^2)/(0.15*10^-6)] = 146.06 V
