The first law of thermodynamics (which states that energy is conserved) does not specify the direction in which thermodynamic processes in nature can spontaneously occur.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The First Law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the Law of Conservation of Energy. Typically, the First Law of Thermodynamics states that the change of internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of external work and heat spent on the system.

Mathematically, the First Law of Thermodynamics is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

Where;

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.

Hence, the direction in which any thermodynamic process in nature can spontaneously occur isn't stated by the First Law of Thermodynamics.

A physics student mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them, and they appear concentric when viewed from either end). The lenses are identical, each with a positive (converging) focal length of 14.8 cm. They are separated by a distance of 39.4 cm. Lens 1 is to the left of Lens 2.

Required:
a. What is the final image's distance (in cm) from Lens 2?
b. Where is the final image located?
c. What is the overall magnification of the lens pair, considered as a single optical instrument?

Answers

Answer:

A)    q₂ = 75.98 cm, B)     q₂' = 115.38 cm, C)

Explanation:

A) This is an exercise in geometric optics, as the two lenses are separated by a greater distance than their focal lengths from each lens, they must be worked as independent lenses.

Lens 1. More to the left

let's use the constructor equation

         [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively,

We must assume a distance to the object to perform the calculation, suppose that the object is 50 cm from lens 1 that is further to the left of the system.

          [tex]\frac{1}{q_1} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{p}[/tex]

         [tex]\frac{1}{q_1} = \frac{1}{14.8} - \frac{1}{50}[/tex]  

          1 / q₁ = 0.04756

           q₁ = 21.0227 cm

this image is the object for the second lens that has f₂ = 14.8 cm

the distance must be measured from the second lens

          p₂ = 39.4 -q₁

          p₂ = 39.4 -21.0227

          p₂ = 18.38 cm

let's use the constructor equation

            1 / q₂ = 1 / f - 1 / p2

             

             [tex]\frac{1}{q_2} = \frac{1}{14.8} - \frac{1}{18.38}[/tex]

            [tex]\frac{1}{q_2}[/tex] = 0.01316

            q₂ = 75.98 cm

measured from the second lens

B) the position of the final image with respect to the first lens is

            q₂’= q₂ + 39.4

             q₂'= 75.98 +39.4

              q₂' = 115.38 cm

C) the magnification of a lens is

              m = - q / p

in this case the image measured from lens 2 is q2 = 75.98 cm

the distance to the object from the first lens is p1 = 50cm

          m = - 75.98 / 50

          m = -1.5 X

the negative sign indicates that the image is inverted

The tension in a pulley belt is 31 N when stationary. Calculate power in watts transmitted when the belt is on the point of slipping on the smaller wheel. the wheel is 379 mm diameter and the coefficient of friction is 0.3. The angle of lap is 1610. The wheel speed is 1,547 rev/min.

Answers

Answer:

P = 756.84 Watts

Explanation:

As the tension is stationary or innitial, T₀ = 31 N, the mean would be:

T₁ + T₂ / 2 = T₀    (1)

T₁ + T₂ = 2 * 31 = 62 N

Now, with the following expression we can determine the linear speed:

V = πWD  (2)

W: angular speed of the wheel  (rev/s)

D: diameter of the wheel (in meters)

W = 1547 rev/min * (1 min/60 s) = 25.78 rev/s

V = π * 25.78 * 0.379 = 30.695 m/s

We also know that:

T₁ / T₂ = exp (μθ)

T₁ = T₂ exp(μθ)   (3)

We already have those values so replacing:

T₁ = T₂ exp(0.3 * 161 * π/180)

T₁ = 2.32T₂   (4)

We can now replace (4) in (1) like this:

T₁ + T₂ = 62 N

2.32T₂ + T₂ = 62

3.32T₂ = 62

T₂ = 18.67 N

Which means that T₁:

T₁ = 2.32(18.67)

T₁ = 43.33 N

Finally, the power can be determined using the following expression:

P = (T₁ - T₂)V  (5)       Replacing we have:

P = (43.33 - 18.67)*30.695

P = 756.84 Watts

Hope this helps

Explanation:

edge 2020... Using elimination it's the only one that makes sense.

The statement third "an increase in the distance between the objects causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass" is correct.

What is gravitational force?

The gravitational force is a force that attracts all mass-bearing objects. The gravitational force is referred to as attractive because it always strives to pull masses together rather than pushing them apart.

As we know, the gravitational force is given by:

[tex]\rm F = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where, G is the gravitational constant.

m1 and m2 are masses.

r is the distance between the masses.

From the data given in the table, shows that:

The gravitational force is indirectly proportional to the square of the distance.

Thus, the statement third "an increase in the distance between the objects causes a greater change in the gravitational force than the same increase in mass" is correct.

3) A 30 kg child slides freely across a "Slip and Slide" on LEVEL GROUND. While the child slides, the force applied to keep them sliding is 0 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.02. What is the acceleration experienced by the child?

Answers

Answer:

a = 0.1962 m/s^2

Explanation:

The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by

[tex]F_k=\mu_kN[/tex]

Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg

Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2

F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N

Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child

⇒ ma = F_k

here, a is the acceleration

⇒30a = 5.886

⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2

A cylindrical space colony 8.00 km in diameter and 30.0 km long has been proposed as living quarters for future space explorers. Such a habitat would have cities, land, and lakes on the inside surface and air and clouds in the center. All this would be held in place by the rotation of the cylinder about the long axis. How fast would such a cylinder have to rotate to produce a 1-g gravitational field at the walls of the cylinder

Answers

Answer:

ω = 0.05 rad/s

Explanation:

In order to produce the acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth, the centripetal acceleration must be equal to the value  of g:

[tex]a_c = g\\g = \frac{v^2}{r}\\\\but,\ v=r\omega\\therefore,\\\\g = \omega^2r\\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}[/tex]

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth = 9.81 m/s²

r = radius of cylinder = 8 km/2 = 4 km = 4000 m

Therefore,

[tex]\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.81\ m/s^2}{4000\ m}}[/tex]

ω = 0.05 rad/s

A typical turbine supplies 10kW of power. Use Faraday's law to find the induced emf in the coil and the amount of induced current.

Answers

Answer:

a. ε = 21,014sin(120πt) V

b. 0.476cosec(120πt)  

Explanation:

a. Induced emf

We know the induced emf, ε = -dΦ/dt where Φ = magnetic flux through coil = NABcosθ where N = number of turns of coil =, 100, A = area of coil = 10 ft × 6 ft = 60 ft² = 60 × 1 ft² = 60 × (0.3048)² m² = 5.574 m², B = magnetic field strength = 0.1 T and θ = angle between B and normal to A = ωt.

So, Φ = NABcosθ = 100 × 5.574 m² × 0.1 T cosθ  = 55.74cosθ Tm²

So, ε = -dΦ/dt = ε = -d(55.74cosθ Tm²)/dt = -d(55.74cosθ Tm²)/dθ × dθ/dt = -55.74 ×(-sinθ) Tm²)/dθ × ω (ω = dθ/dt = angular frequency of shaft = 2πf where f = frequency of rotor = 60 Hz )

ε = 55.74sinθ Tm²) × 2πf

ε = 55.74sinθ Tm²) × 2π(60 Hz)

ε = 6689πsinθ V

ε = 21,014sinθ V

ε = 21,014sinωt V

ε = 21,014sin(2πft) V

ε = 21,014sin(2π(60 Hz)t) V

ε = 21,014sin(120πt) V

b. Current in coil

Since power P = Iε where I = current and ε = induced emf = 21,014sinθ V.

Since power, P = 10 kW = 10000 W

I = P/ε

= 10000 W/21,014sinθ V

= 0.476/sinθ

= 0.476cosecθ

= 0.476cosecωt

= 0.476cosec(120πt)  

The maximum current is obtained when θ = 90°

I =  10000 W/21,014sin90 V

I = 10000 W/21,014 V

I = 0.476 A

I = 476 mA

The load across a 12 V battery consists of a series combination of three resistors 34 Ω, 42Ω, and 30Ω. What is the total resistance of the load? Answer in units of Ω. What is the current in the circuit? Answer in units of A.

Answers

Answer:

The total resistance is 106 Ω and the current in the circuit is 0.11 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 12 V

Resistors 34 Ω, 42Ω, and 30Ω are connected in series.

The total resistance is given by :}

R = 34 + 42 +30

= 106Ω

Let I is the total current in the circuit. Using ohm's law to find it such that,

[tex]I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{12}{106}\\\\I=0.11\ A[/tex]

Hence, the total resistance is 106 Ω and the current in the circuit is 0.11 A.

A 7.5 cm tall Aragorn action figure is placed 12.4 cm in front of a double convex lens. If the image of Aragorn is located 7.5 from the lens, what is the focal length of the lens?

Explanation:

Here, we can use the thin lens formula, as follows:

[tex]\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}\\\\[/tex]

where,

f = focal length of lens = ?

p = distance of object from lens = 12.4 cm

q = distance of image from lens = 7.5 cm

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{12.4\ cm} +\frac{1}{7.5\ cm}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{4.67\ cm}[/tex]

f = 4.67 cm

Answers

Answer:

convex       f = 33 cm

concave     f = -33 cm

Explanation:

In geometric optics the focal length of a lens is given by

         [tex]\frac{1}{f} = ( n-1) \ (\frac{1}{R_2} - \frac{1}{R_1} )[/tex]

where n is the refractive index of the medium, R₁ and R₂   are the focal lengths on each side of the lens.

In this case one of the sides is flat so its focal length is infinite, if the lens is convex the focal length is positive, convergent lens and if it is concave the focal length is negative, divergent lens.

         [tex]\frac{1}{f} = (n-1) \ \frac{1}{R}[/tex]

the refractive index of the glass is n = 1.5

let's calculate

         1 / f = (1.5 -1) 1 / 16.5

         1 / f = 0.03030

          f = 33 cm

convex       f = 33 cm

concave     f = -33 cm

C The wavelength would be half (λ = λ/2).
D The velocity would be half (v = v/2).

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is -

B. The velocity would double (v = 2v).

C. The wavelength would be half (λ = λ/2).

Explanation:

A wave has a speed or velocity that is related to the wavelength of the wave and the frequency of the wave and this relationship can be represented by the following equation-

Wave velocity V = Wavelength (λ) * Frequency (f)

Frequency (f) = Velocity (V) / Wavelength(λ).

The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional and frequency and velocity are directly proportional to each other.

So, if f = 2f then,

putting value in the formula,

2f = 2v/λ, which means, f = 2v and f = λ/2

when the frequency is doubled, the wavelength will be halved and velocity will be doubled.

Milgram’s participants were placed in an emotionally excruciating situation in which an experimenter instructed them to continue administering electric shocks to another individual despite hearing that person’s agonizing screams of protest. The studies ignited a debate about the ethical treatment of participants. And the research became, as I often told my students, the study that can never be replicated. Hope this helps!

5. The magnetic field produced by the primary coil can reach the secondary coil more easily.
6. Energy can be transferred more efficiently if alternating voltage is used.

Answers

Answer:

Alternating voltage leads to electromagnetic induction which is necessary for the transformer to work.

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary; an alternating current is "an electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals".

A transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A transformer requires an alternating current which can create a changing magnetic field leading to induced voltage in the coil.

Hence, a transformer requires alternating voltage because alternating voltage leads to electromagnetic induction which is necessary for the transformer to work.

His eyes are 1.83 m above the floor, and the top of his head is 0.15 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet.

Answers

Answer:

 y_lower = 0.915 m,   y_superior = 1,905 m

Explanation:

In this exercise we use the law of reflection for a flat mirror.

         θ’= θ

To see the feet of the person a ray of light that part of them must reach the bottom of the mirror and its reflection has to reach the eyes.

As the law of reflection the incident and reflected angles are equal, the distance from the floor to the point where the two rays (incident and reflected) touch the mirror must be symmetrical, oses from the floor

           y = 1.83 / 2

           y = 0.915 m

To see the head, a ray of light that comes from the tip of the head and is reflected in the mirror must reach the eyes. As the head is 0.15 m above the eyes and the incident and reflected rays have the same angle, the mirror must be at half the height, that is, the mirror is 0.075 m below the tip of the head.

In summary

* the bottom of the mirror is 0.915 m from the ground

* the top of the mirror is at 1.83 + 0.075

                 y_superior = 1,905 m

Gy = E / m  (1)

Where:

Gy: dose

E: energy absorbed per atom

m: mass of the human body.

We don't have the energy per atom, but we can calculate that by following the next procedure.

First, let's determine the number of atoms of potassium in our body. For that we need to determine the moles in the 140 g of potassium, with the molecular mass and then, use the avogadro's number:

moles = m/MM

moles = 140 / 39.1 = 3.58 moles

N° atoms = 3.58 * 6.02x10²³ atoms = 2.16x10²⁴ atoms of K.

The abundance of the ⁴⁰K is 0.012% so the atoms of this isotope would be:

N = 2.16x10²⁴ * (0.012/100) = 2.59x10²⁰ atoms of ⁴⁰K.

With this number, and the half life rate, we can determine the number of decay atoms in a year (λ) using the following expression:

λ = ln2 / t(1/2)

λ = ln2 / 1.3x10⁹ = 5.33x10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹

This number, multiplied by the number of atoms:

R = 5.33x10⁻¹⁰ * 2.59x10²⁰ = 1.38x10¹¹ atoms/year

Now, each atom of K gives an average energy of 1 MeV, so with the atoms we have:

E = 1.38x10¹¹ * 1x10⁶ eV = 1.38x10¹⁷ eV

This value can be expressed in Joules so:

E = 1.38x10¹⁷ eV * (1 J / 6.24x10¹⁸ eV) = 0.022 J

Finally, we can use (1) to get the dose in Gy:

Gy = 0.022 / 70

Gy = 3.14x10⁻⁴ Gy

Hope this helps

he electric field is dependent on the distance between the plates. false: The voltage of a connected charged capacitor decreases when the plate area is increased. false: The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor increases when the plates are brought closer together.

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor decreases when the plates are brought closer together because the capacitance is inversely proportional to the area. If the area between plates decreases, its capacitance increases and vice versa. There is direct relationship between voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor and plates. If the distance between plates decreases, the voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor is also decreases while on the other hand, if the distance between plates increases, the voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor is also increases.
