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.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

Why doesn’t the ball roll on forever after being kicked at a soccer game?
gavmur [86]

My guess would be because the gravity from the Earth's core is constantly pulling the ball towards the ground. It's like the moon. Why doesn't the moon just float away in space? Because Earth's gravitational pull keeps it rotating around it. Therefore, the ball will always be pulled towards the core which keeps it from from rolling forever due to friction. But i may be wrong, even though this a quite a good answer, hope it is right!

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.
Nadusha1986 [10]
Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

Why are scientific models important?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help scientists communicate their ideas, understand processes, and make predictions.
