I was reading an old thermodynamics textbook and came across this equation describing change in internal energy. What does the (

dU/dT)V and (dU/dV)T mean? I think it’s partial derivatives, but I’ve never seen a derivative sub (something). Please help

Explanation:

I remember that notation! The expression

dQ = dU = (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial T})_{V} dT+ (\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial V})_{T}dV

is the 1st law of thermodynamics and it refers to the heat supplied to the system dQ which is also a change in its internal energy dU. The first term is the <u>partial</u> derivative of the internal energy U with respect to temperature T while the volume V is kept constant, as denoted by the subscript V. The 2nd term is similar but this time, temperature is kept constant while its volume partial derivative is being taken.

Ah, memories!

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.
tresset_1 [31]

Explanation:

The unit of work done is in Joules

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

    Work done  = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

 So to solve this problem;

 multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.

Answer:

I think it is the first one: <u>The arrow appears reversed because light is bent as it enters the water, and again as it exits. The two light paths cross, making the direction of the arrow appear crossed.</u>

Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇  + e⁻¹  =  ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14  + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

water flows horizontally from a hose that is 3m above the ground. the water lands 7.2m to the right of the hose . how long does
Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.782 s

Explanation:

The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.

Given:

y₀ = 3 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.782 s

Round as needed.
