What is the entropy of isolated system?

Physics
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]4 years ago
7 0

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.

How many significant figures are there in : (a) 0.000054 (b) 3.001 x 10^5 (c) 5.600
melomori [17]

Answer:

(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
  • All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
  • All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.

As per question,

0.000054 has 2 significant figures.

3.001 x 10⁵ has 4 significant figures.

5.600 has 4 significant figures.

What is tue cause of upthrust ?​
Brut [27]

it's caused by a pressure that is large on the button of an object that it is on the top of an object submerged in a liquid.

Explanation:

This is why object appear to weigh less when immersed in a liquid. If the upthrust is greater than the weight of the object, the object will rise up through the liquid.

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.
