You don't need to push off with a foot against the ground to start a skateboard rolling down a bank. Does this violate Newton's

first law of motion? Why or why not?

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.

Agas initially at p1 = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 0.5 liter is compressed within a piston–cylinder assembly to a final pressure p2 = 4 bar. (a) if the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is pv = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. (b) repeat for a linear pressure–volume relationship between the same end states. reference

Sobre transformações cíclicas, são feitas algumas afirmações, determine quais estão corretas. i – a variação de energia interna em uma transformação cíclica é nula; ii – o trabalho, em uma transformação cíclica, é sempre positivo; iii – ao completar um ciclo, o gás tem a mesma temperatura com a qual começou a transformação; iv – uma transformação cíclica é, obrigatoriamente, composta de transformações conhecidas, como adiabática, isocórica, etc: a) i e iii b) i e ii c) ii e iii d) i e iv e) iii e iv
