melamori03 [73]3 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.

Liula [17]
<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam. 
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam? 
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip? 
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support. 

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure the answer is B because animals at the top need a lot of energy, so to make up for loss of energy at the higher levels, those organisms at the top have to consume a lot more.
