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.

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
  • Let S_{0} be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

  • Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
  • The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, S_{R} = S — S 0S_{0}

S_{R} = 1.25 — 1

S_{R} = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas
Mrac [35]
If these were the missing choices:

a)      Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b)      Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c)       Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d)      Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.


My answer would be: c)       <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.368kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of cop
Katarina [22]
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.

Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The Crab nebula pulsar in the constellation Taurus has a period of 33.5\times 10^{-
joja [24]

Answer:

5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of the pulsar is given by:

L=m\omega r^2

where

m=2.8\cdot 10^{30} kg is the mass of the pulsar

r = 10.0 km = 1\cdot 10^4 m is the radius

\omega is the angular speed

Given the period of the pulsar, T=33.5\cdot 10^{-3} s, the angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{33.5\cdot 10^{-3}s}=187.5 rad/s

And so, the angular momentum is

L=m\omega r^2=(2.8\cdot 10^{30}kg)(187.5 rad/s)(1\cdot 10^4 m)^2=5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s
