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.

Will Mark Brainliest if Correct PLZ!!!!! A bullet is shot at some angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of 87m/s on
qaws [65]

Answer:

≅50°

Explanation:

We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:

Δx=V₀t+at²/2

And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:

Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2

Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):

  • Δx=760 m
  • V₀=87 m/s
  • t=13.6 s
  • a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!

With that we can plug the values in to get:

760=(87)(cos\theta )(13.6)+\frac{(0)(13.6^{2}) }{2}

760=(1183.2)(cos\theta)

cos\theta=\frac{760}{1183.2}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{760}{1183.2})\approx50^{o}

A container contains 200g of water at initial temperature of 30°C. An iron nail of mass 200g at temperature of 50°C is immersed
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Assuming there is no heat loss to the surrounding.

Heat lost by iron equals heat gained by water.

0.2(450)(50-x)=0.2(4200)(x-30)

x=31.94 °C

a 360 mile trip began on a greeway in a car traveling at 62 mph. Once the road became a 2 lane highway, the car slowed to 54 mph
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5

If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.
