As discussed in class, a perpetual motion machine of the second kind (that is, a device which could absorb heat from a single heat reservoir and delivers work, without any other permanent macroscopic change to the universe) would be quite useful, were it not for the inconvenient fact of it violating the second law: (a) search the internet in order to estimate the following: the average temperature of the earth's oceans, the amount (mass) of water in the oceans, the specific heat capacity of salt water, and the total annual energy used (chemical fuel, plus other electrical) by the human population, as of 2018. (b) if heat could be extracted from the oceans and converted entirely to work, estimate how many years of present human energy needs could be satisfied by lowering the temperature of the ocean by a single degree celsius

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.

Neutrons are placed in a magnetic field with magnitude 2.30 t. part a part complete what is the energy difference between the states with the nuclear spin angular momentum components parallel and antiparallel to the field? δe δ e = 2.77×10−7 ev previous answers correct part b part complete which state is lower in energy: the one with its spin component parallel to the field or the one with its spin component antiparallel to the field? which state is lower in energy: the one with its spin component parallel to the field or the one with its spin component antiparallel to the field? parallel antiparallel previous answers correct part c part complete how do your results compare with the energy states for a proton in the same field (δe=4.05×10−7ev)? how do your results compare with the energy states for a proton in the same field this result is smaller than but comparable to that found in the example for protons. this result is greater than but comparable to that found in the example for protons. previous answers correct part d the neutrons can make transitions from one of these states to the other by emitting or absorbing a photon with energy equal to the energy difference of the two states. find the frequency of such a photon. f f = mhz previous answersrequest answer incorrect; try again; 5 attempts remaining
