A rock with mass m = 3.60 kg falls from rest in a viscous medium. The rock is acted on by a net constant downward force of F = 15.0 N (a combination of gravity and the buoyant force exerted by the medium) and by a fluid resistance force f=kv, where v is the speed in m/s and k = 2.68 N×s/m.(a) Find the initial acceleration a0 (b) Find the acceleration when the speed is 3.60 m/s.

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.
