Answer:
We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;
Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;
ΔU = Q - W
Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
It would be 20 protons left because 1-19= 20
a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.
first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15
second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20
total work done: 35 J
b. the force was first applied = 6 N
F = m.a
a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²
vf²=vi²+2as
vf²=6²+2.2.5
vf²=56
vf=7.5 m/s
