The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system does not decrease with time. This is because not all heat can be converted into useful work. Therefore, the best option is the 2nd choice.
The other choices relate to conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics.

First law is Conservation of Energy

Second is that entropy of an isolated system will always increase with time.

Entropy is the change of disorder through time. The best statement which relates to the 2nd law is C. Thermal energy flows from areas of higher to lower temperature

True or False: Inertia is the property that every material object has that causes objects to resist changes in its state of moti

goldfiish [28.3K]

That is True because if it resists it means to not do it and if it is motion, that means that it is resisting movement and that is what inertia is.

The scientific definition for inertia is: "a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged"
Glad to help. :)

9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.

Kobotan [32]

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength $\lambda$ is the distance between to crests; this means we have $4\lambda$ in $40 m$ :

$40 m=4\lambda$

Clearing $\lambda$ :

$\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}$

$\lambda=10 m$

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- $T$

Then:

$T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}$

$T=1.6 s$ This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency $f$ of the wave has an inverse relation with its period $T$ :

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

$f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}$

$f=0.625 Hz$ This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed $v$ of a wave is given by the following equation:

$v=\frac{\lambda}{T}$

$v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}$

Finally:

$v=6.25 m/s$

Two ropes are attached to either side of a 100.0 kg wagon as shown below. The rope on the right is pulled at an angle 40.0° rela

NikAS [45]

The acceleration of the wagon is found by applying Newton's Second Law of motion.

1. The responses for question 1 are;

x-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 91.93 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 71.135 N

x-component of the tension in the rope on the left is -80.0 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the left is 0

2. The net force in the x-direction is approximately 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction is approximately 0.1193 m/s².

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the wagon, m = 100.0 kg

Angle of inclination to the horizontal of the rope to the right, θ = 40.0°

Tension in the rope on the right = 120.0 N

Direction in which the rope on the left is pulled = To the west

Tension in the rope on the left = 80.0 N

1. The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ 91.93 N

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ 77.135 N

The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = -80.0 N

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = 0.0 N

2. The net force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ, is found as follows;

Fₓ = The x-component of the rope on the left + The x-component of the rope on the right

Which gives;

Fₓ = 91.93 N - 80.0 N = 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the block is given as follows;

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ = Mass of wagon, m × Acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ

Fₓ = m × aₓ

Therefore;

$\displaystyle a_x = \frac{F_x}{m} \approx \frac{11.93 \, N}{100.0 \, kg} = \mathbf{0.1193 \ m/s^2}$

The acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ ≈ 0.1193 m/s².

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 8.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 30.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligi

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

$Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2$

$\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}$

Where the inertia is given by:

$Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2$

Replacing this value:

$\omega c=106.46rad/s$

Speed of the block will therefore be:

$V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s$

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

$Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

So,

$0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m
