Likurg_2 [28]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
Brrunno [24]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

The statements below are all true. Some of them represent important reasons why the giant impact hypothesis for the Moon’s forma
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be     b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

         b e a f c

Jin walked 4 km on a straight path to get to the sandwich shop. He traveled 30° south of east.
Molodets [167]

Answer: -2 km

Explanation:

If we imagine Jin's movement to be the hypothenuse of a right triangle, then the southern component of Jin's movement corresponds to the side of the triangle opposite to the angle of 30 degrees. Therefore, the magnitude of this southern component is given by

However, the angle of 30 degrees is south of east: this means that the direction of this southern component is south, and since we generally take north as positive direction, we must add a negative sign, so the correct answer is

-2 km

Para proteger un computador de sobrecargas eléctricas, Juan coloca un filamento delgado de cobre llamado fusible en su circuito,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Los fusibles están diseñados de tal forma que estos se "rompen" o se funden, cuando la demanda eléctrica supera un dado valor (cuando demasiada electricidad pasa a través de el).

Una vez el filamento se rompe, la corriente ya no puede circular por el (podes pensar en esta situación como un cable roto, la electricidad no puede circular por este cable)

Entonces, al romperse el filamento, en caso de una sobrecarga eléctrica, el flujo de electricidad se corta, y de esta forma se protege al computador de posibles sobrecargas.
