On being introduced to the laws of thermodynamics, a student retorted, “When the brakes of a moving car are applied, the kinetic

energy of the car does diminish and even drops to zero when the car comes to a stop.” The student thought that his observation about the car contradicted the first law of thermodynamics. Does the reduction of the car’s kinetic energy really contradict the first law of thermodynamics​

Answer:

No, not at all. This kinetic energy of car is converted/lost in the form of sound and heat under the tyre when driver apply brakes.

Explanation:

This law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it changes from one form to the other.

In this case reduction of kinetic energy of car does not contradict the law but it changes into heat and sound energy. When driver apply brakes we hear the sound of Tyre due to friction with the road. The tyre become hot too.

So it is not in contradiction to the law of conservation of energy (First Law of Thermodynamics).

Please mark branliest if you are satisfied with the answer. Thanking you in anticipation.

When 15 newtons of force is applied to the 0.5 kg book, the friction keeps the book from sliding down the wall. What is the mini
valkas [14]

Answer:

15 N and 3.061

Explanation:

From the question,

The minimum force of friction to keep the book from sliding = 15 N.

using

F = mgμ................. Equation 1

Where F = Frictional Force, m = mass of the book, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction.

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = F/mg............... Equation 2

Given: F = 15 N, m = 0.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

μ = 15(0.5×9.8)

μ = 15/4.9

μ = 3.061

Hence the coefficient of friction to keep the book from sliding = 3.061

The speed of a rocket just after being launched is 12 m / s.
drek231 [11]

This question involves the concepts of the equations of motion, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

a. The kinetic energy of the rocket at launch is "3.6 J".

b. maximum gravitational potential energy of the rocket is "3.6 J".

<h3>a. KINETIC ENERGY AT LAUNCH</h3>

The kinetic energy of the rocket at launch is given by the following formula:

K.E=\frac{1}{2} m v_i^2

where,

  • K.E = initial kinetic energy = ?
  • m = mass of rocket = 0.05 kg
  • v_i = initial speed = 12 m/s

Therefore,

K.E=\frac{1}{2}(0.05\ kg)(12\ m/s)^2

K.E = 3.6 J

<h3>b. MAXIMUM GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY</h3>

First, we will use the third equation of motion to find the maximum height reached by rocket:

2gh=v_f^2-v_i^2

where,

  • g = -9.81 m/s²
  • h = maximum height = ?
  • vf = final speed  = 0 m/s

Therefore,

2(-9.81 m/s²)h = (0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²

h = 7.34 m

Hence, the maximum gravitational potential energy will be:

P.E = mgh

P.E = (0.05 kg)(9.81 m/s²)(7.34 m)

P.E = 3.6 J

What’s the first step you would take to build a voltaic cell?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

In a voltaic cell, current is produced by connecting an oxidation reaction half cell to a reduction reaction half cell in an electrolyte solution. Oxidation and reduction reactions (redox reactions) are chemical reactions involving a transfer of electrons from one atom in the reaction to another. When two different oxidation or reduction reactions are connected electrically by connecting the cathode to the anode, a current is formed. The direction depends on the type of reaction taking place at the terminal.

The first step would be to determine metals to be used as the cathode and the anode.
