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.

Knowing the constant g what will the gravitational force between two masses be if the gravitational force between them is 36n an
charle [14.2K]
The gravitational force between two masses is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the separation between the two masses

We see that the force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance: F \sim  \frac{1}{r^2}
therefore, if the distance is tripled:
r'=3r
The force decreases by a factor 1/9:
F \sim  \frac{1}{(3r)^2}= \frac{1}{9}  \frac{1}{r^2}

Since the original force was 36 N, the new force will be
F' =  \frac{1}{9} (36 N)= 4 N

A wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) 8.40A/m^2

(c) \rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2

Resistance R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A

(B) Current density is equal to

J=\frac{i}{A}

J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2

(c) Resistance is equal to

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}

\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m

A high-jumper clears the bar and has a downward velocity of - 5.00 m/s just before landing on an air mattress and bouncing up at
Jobisdone [24]

-- As she lands on the air mattress, her momentum is (m v)

Momentum = (60 kg) (5 m/s down) = 300 kg-m/s down

-- As she leaves it after the bounce,

Momentum = (60 kg) (1 m/s up) = 60 kg-m/s up

-- The impulse (change in momentum) is

Change = (60 kg-m/s up) - (300 kg-m/s down)

Magnitude of the change = <em>360 km-m/s </em>

The direction of the change is <em>up /\ </em>.
