Entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations (known as microstates) that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system (such as its volume, pressure and temperature).[1] Under the assumption that each microstate is equally probable, the entropy
S
S is the natural logarithm of the number of microstates, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant
Answer:
a) v = 6.43 m/s
b) v = 15.8 m/s
Explanation:
Speed of car = 56 km/h
56 km/h = 14.4 m/s
Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°
Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time
both of which are directly proportional to their velocities
Then
tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x
or x = 14.44/tan(66°)
Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth
v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth
For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities
v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car
= 15.8 m/s
Well, in some systems the atoms melt or burn or change state like from liquid to gases when they reach a certain temperature. This could decrease the energy in the system.
Hope I helped
