A closed system is a system that is completely isolated from its environment. The physical universe, as we currently understand it, appears to be a closed system. An open system is a system that has flows of information, energy, and/or matter between the system and its environment, and which adapts to the exchange.

D makes the most sense, but you just have to put two and two together and go with your gut feeling, first cross out the answers that don't make sense (A didnt make sense) and go from there! I hope the little bit above me helped you answer or decide :) Good luck!

An object with a mass of 78kg is lifted through a height of 6 meters. How much work is done?

g100num [7]

Work = force x distance.

force = mass x acceleration

work = mass x acceleration x diastance

use acceleration of gravity in this problem

W (J) = m (kg) x a (m/s/s) x d (m)
W = 78 x 9.8 x 6
W = 4586.4

Which describes the process of conduction?

fenix001 [56]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The process of conduction is described by the heat energy is transferred from the land to the air by direct contact. Conduction is the process of heat transfer that happens through the collisions between molecules.

Define the following:

belka [17]

Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants

What's so great about solar energy systems?

Marta_Voda [28]

Solar energy is a good alternative to replace fossil fuel as the major energy source because solar power is renewable at absolutely no cost to supply energy infinitely.

Kathy tests her new sports car by racing with Stan, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Kathy leaves the starting li

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) t=3.87 s :time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) d=37.36 m

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because Kathy and Stan move with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (3)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Nomenclature

d₁: Stan displacement

t₁ : Stan time

v₀₁: Stan initial speed

vf₁: Stan final speed

a₁: Stan acceleration

d₂: car displacement

t₂ : Kathy time

v₀₂: Kathy initial speed

vf₂: Kathy final speed

a₂: Kathy acceleration

Data

v₀₁ = 0

v₀₂ = 0

a₁ = 3.1 m/s²

a₂= 4.99 m/s²

t₁ = (t₂ +1) s

Problem development

By the time Kathy overtakes Stan, the two will have traveled the same distance:

d₁ = d₂

t₁ = (t₂ +1)

We aplpy the Formula (3)

d₁ = v₀₁t₁ + (1/2)*a₁*t₁²

d₁ = 0 + (1/2)*(3.1)*t₁²

d₁ = 1.55*t₁² ; Stan's cinematic equation 1

d₂ = v₀₂t₂ + (1/2)*a₂*t₂²

d₂ = 0 + (1/2)*(4.99)*t₂²

d₂ = 2.495* t₂² : Kathy's cinematic equation 2

d₁ = d₂

equation 1 = equation 2

1.55*t₁² = 2.495* t₂² , We replace t₁ = (t₂ +1)

1.55* (t₂ +1) ² = 2.495* t₂²

1.55* (t₂² +2t₂+1) = 2.495* t₂²

1.55*t₂²+1.55*2t₂+1.55 = 2.495* t₂²

1.55t₂²+3.1t₂+1.55=2.495t₂²

(2.495-1.55)t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0

0.905t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0 Quadratic equation

Solving the quadratic equation we have:

(a) t₂ = 3.87 s : time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) Distance in which Kathy catches Stan

we replace t₂ = 3.87 s in equation 2

d₂ = 2.495*( 3.87)²

d₂ = 37.36 m

(c) Speeds of both cars at the instant Kathy overtakes Stan

We apply the Formula (1)

vf₁= v₀₁+a₁t₁ t₁ =( t₂+1 ) s=( 3.87 + 1 ) s = 4.87 s

vf₁= 0+3.1* 4.87

vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

vf₂ = v₀₂+a₂ t₂

vf₂ =0+4.99* 3.87

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed
