In a closed system, what happens to the total energy of the system as energy conversion takes place?

Answer:

In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.

Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 19% of the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

51.94°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.19I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.19I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.19\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.38}\\\Rightarrow \theta=51.94^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 51.94°

Describe how sound waves are produced
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.  

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.)  Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

Sorry if this if  wrong

Give examples of not useful high friction
Tatiana [17]
Friction can be bad by being too strong or too weak. 

<span>Sometimes, when it is too strong, it decreases efficiency since some energy is wasted and turns to heat. Friction can also d</span><span>amage equipment/objects like when you slide it on the floor.
</span>
When friction is too weak, like for instance when there is black ice- our center of gravity is displaced too quickly and we can fall. Likewise, if there is a lot of slush on the ground, cars can slip and slide.

Do objects tend to stay moving because of a force called Interia
ahrayia [7]

The first law of Newton’s law state an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon with an outside force. Other know as the law of inertia so yes it does
