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.

8. A 2 kg flower pot weighing 20 N falls from a window ledge.
Alina [70]

The force of the air resistance is 4 N.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the flower pot, m = 2 kg
  • weight of the flower pot, W = 20 N

Let the air resistance = F

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force of the air resistance acting upward to oppose the motion of the pot falling downwards.

\Sigma F = ma\\\\W - F = ma\\\\a = \frac{W - F}{m} \\\\8 = \frac{20 - F}{2} \\\\20 - F = 16\\\\F = 20 - 16\\\\F = 4 \ N

Thus, the force of the air resistance is 4 N.

Neglecting air, what speed does a rock thrown straight up have to be to reach the edge of our atmosphere: say 100 km? Still negl
Ugo [173]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.

Mathematically we have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

Where,

v_{f,i} = Final velocity and Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

x = Displacement

From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity

0 - v_i^2 = 2(9.8)(100*10^3)

v_i = 14*10^2m/s

Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.

The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is 14 * 10 ^ 2m / s

How does the total expenditures test help determine demand elasticity?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: The three causes of demand elasticity are measured by looking at the relative change in demand as it responds to a change in price. How does the total expenditures test help determine demand elasticity? By finding out what the total expenditures are for a product, a business is able to determine the demand elasticity.
