If a system is isolated the total energy within that system is constant. Consider the case of a hot cup of coffee: when it cools

down, the energy goes into the surrounding air, causing the air to warm. If the coffee and the air are placed in an isolated chamber, the total energy of the system (coffee + air) is constant because the energy lost by the coffee is exactly equal to the energy gained by the air. The only way for the total energy of a system to change is when it is not isolated, meaning that external forces or sources of energy interact with the system. If we want to define a system where the total energy is conserved, which one of the choices below would be the best system to consider?A. The personB. The person and the EarthC. The Earth

Answer:b-The person and the earth

Explanation:

The best system will be the person and earth as a system

It is so because whatever the energy required by the person is derived from earth resource and thus by depleting the earth resource person is getting is required form of energy .

for example person want thermal energy , for this he need coal which is earth resource and thus all the energy is derived from earth and is being converted into some other form of energy.

You have two square metal plates with side lengths of (6.50 C) cm. You want to make a parallel-plate capacitor that will hold a
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The necessary separation between  the two parallel plates is 0.104 mm

Explanation:

Given;

length of each side of the square plate, L = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

charge on each plate, Q = 12.5 nC

potential difference across the plates, V = 34.8 V

Potential difference across parallel plates is given as;

V = \frac{Qd}{L^2 \epsilon_o} \\\\d = \frac{V L^2 \epsilon_o}{Q}

Where;

d is the separation or distance between the two parallel plates;

d = \frac{VL^2 \epsilon_o}{Q} \\\\d =  \frac{34.8*(0.065)^2 *8.854*10^{-12}}{12.5*10^{-9}} \\\\d = 0.000104 \ m\\\\d = 0.104 \ mm

Therefore, the necessary separation between  the two parallel plates is 0.104 mm

Sam boards a ski lift, and rides up the mountain at 6 miles per hour. once at the top, sam immediately begins skiing down the mo
steposvetlana [31]
Let us divide this problem into two parts:
1) Sam rides up the mountain.
2) Sam rides down the mountain.

1. 
Since speed is distance over time, as:
v =  \frac{s}{t}

Therefore, distance would be:
s_{up} = v_{up} * t_{up}

Where s = distance,
v = speed,
t = time.

In the problem, Sam's speed while riding up is v = 6 miles/hour = (6 * 1609.34 / 60) = 160.934 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the above equation, you would get:

s_{up} = 160.934 * t_{up} --- (A)

2. 
As Sam rides down the mountain, the speed given is:
v_{down} = 54  miles/h

Convert it in SI units; the speed would be in SI unit:
v = 54 miles/hour = (54 * 1609.34 / 60) = 1448.406 meters/second(in SI Units). Plug this value in the distance equation, you would get:
s_{down} = 1448.406 * t_{down}

Since the s_{up} = s_{down}, therefore,

160.934 * t_{up} = 1448.406 * t_{down}

=> 
t_{up} = 9 t_{down}

Now the condition is that the whole trip, up and down, takes 40 minutes(2400seconds), it means:
t_{up} + t_{down} = 2400

Plug in the value of t_{up} in the above equation, you would get:
t_{down} = 240

Therefore,
s_{down} = 1448.406*240
s_{down} = 347617.44 meters (in relation to seconds)

s_{down} = 5793.624 meters (in relation to hours)

Now the last step is to convert meters into miles, you would get:
s_{down} = 5793.624/1609.34 = 3.6miles

So the answer is 3.6miles.
