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.

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$

one mole of water is equivalent to 18 grams of water. a glass of water has a mass of 200 g. how many moles of water is in this?

ehidna [41]

1 mole = 18 g
200 g = glass of water
200 ÷ 18 = 11.1
11.1 moles of water in 200 g (glass of water)

Your electric drill rotates initially at 5.21 rad/s. You slide the speed control and cause the drill to undergo constant angular

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the electric drill, $\omega _i$ = 5.21 rad/s

angular acceleration of the electric drill, α = 0.311 rad/s²

time of motion of the electric drill, t = 4.13 s

The angular displacement of the electric drill at the given time interval is calculated as;

$\theta = \omega _i t \ + \ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\\theta = (5.21 \ \times \ 4.13) \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(0.311)(4.13)^2\\\\\theta = (21.5173 ) \ + \ (2.6524)\\\\\theta =24.17 \ rad$
