Your instructor hands you a closed flask partly filled with room-temperature water. When you hold it, the heat transfer between your bare hands and the flask causes the water to boil. Quite impressive! How is this accomplished?

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.

Two trains leave a station at the same time, train a travels at a constant speed of 16 m/s. train b starts at 8.0 m/s but accelerates constantly at 1.0 m/s squared. after 10.0 seconds, which train has the greater speed?
