Why do scientists track the energy in a system?

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0

The supply of energy and of each needed chemical element restricts a system operation -- for example , without inputs of energy ( sunlight ) and matter ( carbon dioxide and water ) , a plant cannot grow. Hence , it is very informative to track the transfers of matter and energy within , into , or out of any system under study.

Hope it helps

A 400 gram sample of alcohol at 10o C [Ca=2.64 J/g*oC] is mixed with 400 grams of warm water [Cw=4.186 J/g*Co] at 88o C. Assume
alukav5142 [94]
The heat lost by the water will be equivalent to the energy gained by the alcohol. Thus:
maCaΔT = -mwCwΔT
400 x 2.64 x (T - 10) = 400 x 4.186 x (88 - T)
T = 57.8 °C

You lay a mirror flat on the floor with one edge against a wall and aim a laser at the mirror. The ray reflects from the mirror
joja [24]

Answer:

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º

Explanation:

Given data

strikes the mirror before wall x = 30.7 cm

reflected ray strikes the wall y =  30.1 cm

to find out

the angle of incidence θ

solution

let us consider ray is strike at angle  θ so after strike on surface ray strike to wall at angle 90 - θ

we will apply here right angle triangle rule that is

tan( 90 - θ) = y /x

tan( 90 - θ)  = 30.1 / 30.7

90 - θ = tan^-1 (30.1/30.7)

90 - θ = 44.4345

θ = 45.56 º

the angle of incidence θ is 45.56 º

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1
