Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.

tatuchka [14]
C.

The train first sped up, giving it a positive acceleration in the beginning. This eliminates D since that choice states that it begins with a negative acceleration. This also eliminates B since that choice states that the train only had a negation acceleration.

Next, the train slows down, giving it a negative acceleration. We’re looking for the answer choice that starts with a positive acceleration and ends with a negative one. This makes C the correct answer. Hope this helps!

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg stationary wooden block and embeds itself in the block. The block and the bullet fly off toge
natka813 [3]

Answer: 909 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the bullet, m1 = 0.05 kg

Mass of the wooden block, m2 = 5 kg

Final velocities of the block and bullet, v = 9 m/s

Initial velocity of the bullet v1 = ? m/s

From the question, we would notice that there is just an object (i.e the bullet) moving before the collision. Also, even after the collision between the bullet and wood, the bullet and the wood would move as one object. Thus, we would use the conservation of momentum to solve

m1v1 = (m1 + m2) v, on substituting, we have

0.05 * v1 = (0.05 + 5) * 9

0.05 * v1 = 5.05 * 9

0.05 * v1 = 45.45

v1 = 45.45 / 0.05

v1 = 909 m/s

Thus, the original velocity of the bullet was 909 m/s

Where on the swing is kinetic energy the greatest and potential energy the least?
levacccp [35]

Thus, a swinging pendulum has its greatest kinetic energy and least potential energy in the vertical position, in which its speed is greatest and its height least; it has its least kinetic energy and greatest potential energy at the extremities of its swing, in which its speed is zero and its height is greatest.
