Answer:
distance
Explanation:
Distance is the missing quantity. It is needed to estimate the amount of work done by a force, and afterwards it is used to estimate the power, which is the work done over the time it took to complete it.
Explanation:
By the second law of Newton we get the relation
F = ma
Answer:
The time constant is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The spring constant is 
The mass of the ball is 
The amplitude of the oscillation t the beginning is 
The amplitude after time t is 
The number of oscillation is 
Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as
Here T is the period of oscillation

=> 
=> 
Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

Here a is the damping constant so
at
, 
So

=> 
taking natural log of both sides
=>
=> 
Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Answer:
ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)
Explanation:
Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :
ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T
if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly
ΔS al =∫dQ/T
in the surroundings
ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K
the total entropy change will be
ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr
ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =
ΔS total ≥ 0
the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings
