Entropy measures disorder and nothing else

mart [117]3 years ago

7 0

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.

Suppose you could fit 100 dimes, end to end, between your card with the pinhole and your dime-sized sunball. how many suns could

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: 100 suns

Explanation:

We can solve this with the following relation:

$\frac{d}{x_{sunball-pinhole}}=\frac{D}{x_{sun-pinhole}}$

Where:

$d=17.91 mm =17.91(10)^{-3} m$ is the diameter of a dime

$D$ is the diameter of the Sun

$x_{sun-pinhole}=150,000,000 km=1.5(10)^{11} m$ is the distance between the Sun and the pinhole

$x_{sunball-pinhole}=100 d=1.791 m$ is the amount of dimes that fit in a distance between the sunball and the pinhole

Finding $D$ :

$D=\frac{d}{x_{sunball-pinhole}}x_{sun-pinhole}$

$D=\frac{17.91(10)^{-3} m}{1.791 m} 1.5(10)^{11} m$

$D=1.5(10)^{9} m$ This is roughly the diameter of the Sun

Now, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is one astronomical unit (1 AU), which is equal to:

$1 AU=149,597,870,700 m$

So, we have to divide this distance between $D$ in order to find how many suns could it fit in this distance:

$\frac{149,597,870,700 m}{1.5(10)^{9} m}=99.73 suns \approx 100 suns$
