Answer:

Timezones exist because of rotation and revolution

Explanation:

As Earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. After 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide.

QUESTION 1 If you do 1,000 J of work on a system and remove 500 J of heat from it, what is the change in its internal energy?
Mazyrski [523]
1. U = Q + W
    U = -500 + 1000
    U = 500 J

2. The first law of thermodynamic is about the law of conservation of energy where energy in should be equal to energy out.

3. It is the windmill that does not transform energy from heat to mechanical instead it is the transforms the opposite.

4. In a heat engine, work is used to transfer thermal energy from a hot reservoir to a cold one.

5.  5.00 × 10^4 J - 2.00 × 10^4 J = 3.00 × 10^4 J 

6. To increase the work done, we raise the temperature of the cold reservoir.
