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.

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

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

1. Alternating voltage leads to electromagnetic induction which is necessary for the transformer to work.
2. Due to economic reasons; alternating voltage is cheaper to produce.
3. If we apply a constant. voltage to the primary coil, it will burn out due to short circuit.
4. No specific reason; the constant voltage would work just as well.
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.

Besides ethical considerations, what is another reason why Milgram’s experiment may be difficult to duplicate?

Last month, we featured IRB best practices (“IRBs: Navigating the Maze” November 2007 Observer), and got the ball rolling with strategies and tips that psychological scientists have found to work. Here, we continue the dissemination effort with the second of three articles by researchers who share their experiences with getting their research through IRB hoops. Jerry Burger from Santa Clara University managed to do the seemingly impossible — he conducted a partial replication of the infamous Milgram experiment. Read on for valuable advice, and look for similar coverage in upcoming Observers. These are the first words I said to Muriel Pearson, producer for ABC News’ Primetime, when she approached me with the idea of replicating Stanley Milgram’s famous obedience studies. Milgram’s work was conducted in the early 1960s before the current system of professional guidelines and IRBs was in place. It is often held up as the prototypic example of why we need policies to protect the welfare of research participants. 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!

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

In any given wave, when the frequency of the wave doubles (f = 2f), which of the following other changes would also take place?
A The wavelength would double (λ = 2λ).
B The velocity would double (v = 2v).
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.

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

A 70 kg human body typically contains 140 g of potassium. Potassium has a chemical atomic mass of 39.1 u and has three naturally occurring isotopes. One of those isotopes, 40K (potassium), is radioactive with a half-life of 1.3 billion years and a natural abundance of 0.012 %. Each 40K (potassium) decay deposits, on average, 1.0 MeV of energy into the body.
What yearly dose in Gy does the typical person receive from the decay of 40K (potassium) in the body? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Gy = 3.14x10⁻⁴ Gy

Explanation:

To get the dose in Gy we need to use the following expression:

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
