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.

A 5 kg object moving to the right at 4 m/s collides inelastically with a 5 kg object
skad [1K]

Answer:

The linear momentum of a particle with mass m moving with velocity v is defined as

p = mv (7.1)

Linear momentum is a vector . When giving the linear momentum of a particle you must

specify its magnitude and direction. We can see from the definition that its units must be

kg·m

s

. Oddly enough, this combination of SI units does not have a commonly–used named so

we leave it as kg·m

s

!

The momentum of a particle is related to the net force on that particle in a simple way;

since the mass of a particle remains constant, if we take the time derivative of a particle’s

momentum we find

dp

dt = m

dv

dt = ma = Fnet

so that

Fnet =

dp

dt (7.2)

While at a party, you pull up a sound intensity level app on your phone (everyone does stuff like that, right?), and it reads 83
allochka39001 [22]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel and mathematically this is expressed as

\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_0}

Where,

\beta_{dB}= Sound intensity level in decibels

I = Acoustic intensity on the linear scale

I_0 = Hearing threshold

According to the values, the total intensity is 32 times the linear intensity and the value in decibels is 83dB

So:

10log_{10}(\frac{32I}{I_0}) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})+10log(32) = 83

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 83-10log(32)

10log(\frac{I}{I_0})= 67.948dB

Therefore the sound intensity due to one person is 67.948dB

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

A skydiver falls out of a plane from rest, and experiences no air resistance. Eventually, this skydiver reaches a velocity of 33
shusha [124]

Answer:

the time taken for the motion is 3.37 s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the skydiver, u = 0

final velocity of the skydiver, v = 33 m/s

The time taken for the motion is calculated as;

v = u + gt

33 = 0 + 9.8t

33 = 9.8t

t = 33 / 9.8

t = 3.37 s

Therefore, the time taken for the motion is 3.37 s
