Answer:

DU = 375 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 500 Joules

Work done = 125 Joules

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.
Q is the quantity of energy.
W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 500 - 125

<em>DU = 375 Joules</em>

pashok25 [27]

Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

$F = mg$

now the acceleration is given as

$F = ma = mg$

$a = g$

so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass

so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size

A car travel with a constant velocity of 20.5m/s for 20seconds what distance does it cover in this time ?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

410 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.5 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 20 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (20.5 m/s) (20 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20 s)²

Δx = 410 m

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
