A 4.0 kg kg block of ice with a temperature of
-10°C°C is placed on a large stone slab with a
temperature of +10°C°C. The stone slab is so
large that its temperature does not change.
The ice and the slab are isolated from the
rest of the universe. 1)What is ASice as the
system comes to equilibrium? 2)What is
ASstone as the system comes to equilibrium?
3)What is AStot as the system comes to
equilibrium?
please solve the question, numbers and
units.
answer to the first question is 5800
Humanity's Energy Needs: Humankind's total annual energy need is approximately 4 x 10^20 J.
a) What is this in Watts?
b) The solar energy reaching the Earth is ~340 W/m^2. If we could collect 100% of the energy hitting 1/20th (5%) of the Earth's surface, and Earth's surface is 5x10^14 m^2, show that we could collect enough energy to meet all of humankind's annual energy needs in less than 12 hours.
c) Alternatively, if we wanted to provide all of humankind's energy needs with wind power, how many 100 MW wind farms are needed? (Assume constant average energy use and no efficiency losses.)
The Big Bang Theory is currently the most widely-accepted explanation for the origin of the Universe. As technology has emerged, new data has been collected to allow for a clearer understanding of how the Universe is changing and the possible things that might happen to it in
the future. Which of the following is not a question that can be answered using scientific processes?
o What was the cause of the Big Bang?
o What is the type of energy emitted by celestial objects?
o What is the rate at which the universe appears to be expanding?
o What are the chemical elements that exist in the other parts of the galaxy?

Use this statement of the 1st law to show (mathematically) its equivalent statement: "Total energy of the universe is constant". Here, the universe can be defined as: system + surroundings (everything but the system – everything outside the system). Hint: this can be shown by two ways - you may either treat system and surroundings as two systems next to each other, or you may treat system + surroundings (universe) as one system.arrow_forwardA speck of carbon dust may contain as many as 30 billion atoms of carbon, each atom having a mass of 2.00 x 10-23 grams.
