<u>Of all the given statements, the following are all true </u>

Usually, when one form of energy is converted to another, no energy is wasted
An organism decays after it dies.
This statement illustrates the second law of thermodynamics.
Potential energy is also known as entropy.

Answers: Option A, D, E and F

Explanation:

Option A says that the energy converts from one to another form but there is no wastage of energy. This is totally justified by the law of energy conservation.
Option B, says that the total energy in the universe of usable form has been gradually decreasing. It is false as the total amount remains constant.
Option D, says the organism decaying process after its death, which is also true and can be seen as the conversion of energy forms.
Option E supports the facts and hence is true.
Option F, says that the entropy is the potential energy which is explained in second law of thermodynamics.

First, calculate the mass of the water used. You do this by subtracting the original mass of the flask from the combined mass of the water and flask, giving:60.735 g - 31.601 g = 29.134 g
So we now know we have 29.134 g of water. To calculate the volume of the flask, simply divide by the density of the water, giving:29.134 g / (0.9973 g/cm3) = 29.213 cm3

Explain how we can deduce the temperature of a star by determining its color.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Stars are bright and have the ability to emit lights of various wavelength. The color of a star plays a significant role. It helps us in determining its temperature. It ranges from reddish color to a bluish-white color. A red color star indicates that the star is of low temperature, whereas a bluish-white star indicates that the star is of high temperature.

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

If the mass of the products measured 120 g, what would be the mass of the reactants? 30 g 60 g 120 g 240 g

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The correct answer option is C

Explanation:

In a balanced chemical reaction mass of the reactant are always equal to mass of the products. Also known as Law of Conservation of Mass which states that " mass can nor be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction."

So, the mass of the reactant will be equal to the mass of products.That is 120 grams.

Hence, the correct answer option(C).
