<h2>Answer: gaseous state</h2>

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.

In this sense, in <u>the gaseous state is where the greatest entropy occurs</u>, since in a gas the particles acquire greater freedom and kinetic energy to move.

Another aspect that influences the increase in entropy is the increase in temperature. This is because, when raising the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules, atoms or ions increases, and, therefore, they move more.

Light incident on a surface at an angle of 45 degrees undergoes diffused reflection. At what angle will it reflect?

Alexus [3.1K]

at any angle between -90 and 90 degrees. In the diffused reflection ,the surface is rough and the direction of light in not the same as the incident light. It can be reflected at any angle

Is momentum proportional or inversely proportional to mass?

aivan3 [116]

Answer:In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object. where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

The current through a 10 ohm resistor is 1.2 amperes.What is the potential difference across the resistor?

Natalija [7]

<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.

Mathematically,

$V\propto I\\V=IR$

Where,

V = potential difference = ?V

I = Current flowing = 1.2 A

R = Resistor = $10\Omega$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=1.2\times 10=12V$

Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts
