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.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.

While tuning a string to the note C at 523 Hz, a piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a)the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b) 526hz

c)0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tension

Explanation:

a) While tuning a string at 523 Hz,piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.

The possible frequencies of the string can be calculated by

fl=f' - B

where

fl= lower limit of the possible frequency

f'= frequency of the string

B= beat heard by the tuner

fl= 523hz + Or - (2beats/secs * 1hz/1beat per sc)

fl= 521hz or 525hz

So the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b)fl=f' - B

523hz= f' - 3

f'= 523 + 3= 526hz

c) The tension is directly proportional to the square of the frequencies

T1/T2 =f1^2/f2^2

523^2 / 526^2 = 0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tensio

When the trough of one light wave meets the crest of another light wave, __________ occurs.
padilas [110]

I took the test, its constructive interference

Edit: this is kind of a trick question. took the test again it was the same question yet this time the answer was destructive. Good luck with that
