Answer:
First law: kinetic energy is used to turn an electric generator
Second law: some thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics is known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, the kinetic energy of the steam is used to turn the electric generator (thereby producing electrical energy).
The second law of thermodynamics states that energy transfer or transformation leads to an increase in entropy resulting in the loss of energy. This law also states that as energy is transferred or transformed, some is lost in a form that is unusable. When thermal energy is used to generate electricity, some of the thermal energy is lost to the environment as it travels through the system.
4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2
I hope this helps
Answer:
The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz
Explanation:
From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.
First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem
l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)
l₂ = √4+25
l₂ = √29
l₂ = 5.39 m
Hence, the path difference is
ΔL = l₂ - l₁
ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m
ΔL = 0.39 m
From the formula for destructive interference
ΔL = (n+1/2)λ
where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength
n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.
Then,
0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ
0.39 = (3/2)λ
0.39 = 1.5λ
∴ λ = 0.39/1.5
λ = 0.26 m
From
v = fλ
f = v/λ
f = 340 / 0.26
f = 1307.69 Hz
Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:
n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)
Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
