Entropy measures disorder and nothing else

mart [117]4 years ago

Answer: The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

Entropy measures the degree of the randomness or disorder. Entropy increases with the increase in the temperature.

If the volume of the system increases then the entropy will also increase. As the degree of the randomness of the system increases in the expansion of the volume.

Therefore, entropy measures disorder.

A commonly used unit of mass in the English system is the pound-mass, abbreviated lbm, where 1 lbm = 0.454 kg. What is the densi

Gemiola [76]

Answer: The density of glycerine will be $0.028lbm/foot^3$

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

$Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}$

Given:

Density of glycerine= $1.26\times 10^3kg/m^3$

1 lbm = 0.454 kg

1 kg = $\frac{1}{0.454}=2.2lbm$

Thus $0.454kg=\frac{2.2}{1}\times 0.454=0.99$

Also $1m^3=35.3147foot^3$

Putting in the values we get:

$Density=\frac{0.99lbm}{35.3147}=0.028lbm/foot^3$

Thus density of glycerine will be $0.028lbm/foot^3$

Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?

Sav [38]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = $\frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2$

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full

inn [45]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

$Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}$

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

${\lambda}$ is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

$Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}$

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm
