The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving rando

mly. In the 1800s, the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell imagined that seemingly nonrandom events would happen on a random basis in our real world.
For example, the fastest-moving molecules would occasionally all find themselves in one part of a water glass and begin to boil, while the slower ones, left alone for a while, would freeze elsewhere in the glass. Or, at some point, all the molecules in a room would randomly move in just one direction rather than every which way.

The term associated with such strange hypothetical scenarios is “Maxwell’s demon.” Imagine this randomly weird world for a minute. Then describe something that would make it very difficult (or at least interesting) to live in a Maxwell’s-demon world. Also explain why you think these strange events don’t happen on a random basis in real life.

Answer:

well I think that the thing that makes that world interesting is that it's full of colours of different people just like those molecules people in the world today have so many characteristics, trait e.t c well I think that somehow it happens but we do not take notice of all those things hope this helped

A 3.0 g bullet traveling at a speed of 400 m/s enters a tree and exits the other side with a speed of 200 m/s. Where did the bul
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

1800J

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullet m= 3g= 0.03kg

initial velocity u = 400m/s

final velocity v= 200 m/s

Step two:

1.The bullet's lost kinetic energy went inside the tree.

2. The energy transferred is computed as

= initial KE- KE final

Initial KE= 1/2mu^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*400^2

Initial KE= 1/2*0.03*160000

Initial KE= 1/2*4800

Initial KE= 2400J

KE final= 1/2mv^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*200^2

KE final= 1/2*0.03*40000

KE final= 1/2*1200

KE final= 600J

KE transferred = 2400-600

KE transferred= 1800J

Answer and Explanation:

--> MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an imaging technique that involves the use of radio waves and magnetic field to generate high detailed images of the human body. It's clinical applications includes:

• Bone and joint MRI:  these are done to check for bone and joint problems such as bone marrow disorders, arthritis, or bone tumours.

• A Spine MRI: This is used to investigate the spinal disc and innervations for disorders such as spinal tumours.

• Chest MRI: This is used to detect abnormalities of the heart, heart valves and coronary arteries.

--> X-RAY: These are electromagnetic waves of short wavelength with high penetrating power. They are produced when fast moving electrons strike a mass of heavy atoms such as those of metals. It's applications includes:

• They are used to detect hidden cracks in materials.

• They are used to show broken bones in human body.

• They are used in the study of internal structures of crystals.

• In agriculture, x-rays are used in killing germs.

--> ULTRASOUND: This makes use of high frequency sounds to detect abnormalities in the human body. An ultrasound machine transmits sound waves into the body which are reflected at the surfaces between the tissues of different density. It can also be used in different disciplines such as imaging, cleaning, mixing, navigation and communication   It's applications includes:

•. Detection of Cracks: when applied on metallic surface under investigation, high frequency sound wave reflects back which and be predicted and recorded.

--> INFRARED RADIATION: This is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength longer than visible light. It is visible to the human eye and most heated surfaces transmits infrared radiation. It's applications includes:

• it is used for the purpose of sensing and detection. For example the night vision goggles and infrared cameras. Remote control makes use of infrared light waves to change channels in the television.

qwelly [4]

Answer:0.0133 \Omega

Explanation:

Given

Voltage=12 V

Current(I)=150 A

V_{terminal}=10 V

r_{internal}=\frac{\Delta V}{I}

r_{internal}=\frac{12-10}{150}

r_{internal}=\frac{2}{150}=0.0133 \Omega
