Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system
Explanation:
Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.
In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.
However, in the case of an isolated system in an <u>irreversible process</u>, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a <u>reversible process</u> the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.
A firecracker before been lit has potential energy in it. It is chemical potential energy which is due to the explosives in it.When it is lit, it gets converted into heat,light and kinetic energy.
The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
You'll never get the correct answer without the correct conversion factor. Note carefully that you have no decimal. It should be
<span>1 km = 0.6214 miles </span>
<span>1000 m = 1 km </span>
<span>60 seconds = 1 minute </span>
<span>60 minutes = 1 hour. </span>
<span>2.998E8 m/s x (1 km/1000m) x (0.6214 miles/km) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/hr) = ?</span>
