Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.

An object experiences an acceleration of -6.8 m/s​2.​ As a result, it accelerates from 54 m/s to a complete stop. How much dista
inessss [21]

Answer:

The distance traveled during its acceleration, d = 214.38 m

Explanation:

Given,

The object's acceleration, a = -6.8 m/s²

The initial speed of the object, u = 54 m/s

The final speed of the object, v = 0

The acceleration of the object is given by the formula,

                                      a = (v - u) / t   m/s²

       ∴                              t = (v - u) / a

                                         = (0 - 54) / (-6.8)

                                         = 7.94 s

The average velocity of the object,

                                       V = (54 + 0)/2

                                           = 27 m/s

The displacement of the object,

                                 d = V x t   meter

                                    = 27 x 7.94

                                    = 214.38 m

Hence, the distance the object traveled during that acceleration is, a = 214.38 m

A body, with a volume of 2 m3, weighs 40 kN. Determine its weight when
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

8.8 kN

Explanation:

V = 2 m³, W = 40 kN, SG = 1.59

Bouyant force N = 1.59 * 1000 kg/m³ * 9.81 N/kg * 2 m³ = 31.2 kN

So the weight becomes 40 - 31.2 = 8.8 kN

why is it important for digestive system functions that mucous membranes can secrete and absorb susbstances?
MissTica

Answer:

It pushes food through the GI tract. The inside of GI tract is lined with mucous membranes. Mucous membranes are moist tissues that can secrete and absorb substances. The ability to secrete and absorb substances is necessary for the functions of the digestive system.
