The second law of thermodynamics is the fundamental law of nature; it states that energy can be transferred from cold objects to hot objects only, if work is done on the system. If energy is added to the system then as a result the thermal energy would increase. Second law of thermodynamics is used to determine whether a process is spontaneous or not. Moreover,the second law of thermodynamics is also used in refrigerators.

Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 400 m/s or a 80 kg bowling ball rolled at 6.5 m/s ?

mixer [17]

Formulae for Kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy= 1/2xmassx(velocity)^2

For comparison we need to have same units,thus we convert 10g into Kg.
10g/1000=0.01Kg

Input the value of bullet in the formulae;
Kinetic Energy= 1/2x0.01kgx(400)^2
K.E=800J

Input value of the ball:
Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx(6.5)^2
K.E=1690J

Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.

In an experiment the mass of a calorimeter is 36.35 g . Express in micrometer ,millimetre and kg.

Andru [333]

Answer:

1. 36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer.

II. 36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre.

III. 36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass of calorimeter = 36.35 grams

To convert the mass in grams (g) to;

I. Micrometer

Conversion:

1 g = 1 exp 15 um

36.35 g = X um

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 exp 15 = 36.35 exp 15 um

36.35 g = 36.35E15 micrometer

II. Millimetre

Conversion:

1 g = 1 milliliter

36.35 g = X milliliter

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 1 = 36.35 milliliter

Next, we would convert milliliter to millimetre;

1 milliliter = 10 millimetre

36.35 milliliter = X millimetre

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 36.35 * 10 = 363.5 millimetre

36.35 g = 363.5 millimetre

III. Kilogram

Conversion:

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

36.35 g = X kilogram

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X * 1000 = 36.35 * 1

Dividing both sides by 1000, we have;

X = 36.35/1000 = 0.03635 kilogram

36.35 g = 0.03635 kilogram

Note:

g is the symbol for grams.
Exp (E) means exponential = 10
um is the symbol for micrometer.

A machine designed to stretch a stiff spring uses 1,550 J of energy to stretch the spring. If the work output is 1,200 J, what i

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

77%

Explanation:

efficiency= work output/work input X 100%

e = 1,200j/ 1,550 j x100%

e = 1,200/1,550= 0.77

e = 0.77 x 100%

e = 77%
