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.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes. Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which

$w sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where,

w = width

$\lambda =$ wavelength

m is an integer, m = 1, 2, 3...

We here know that as $sin\theta$ as w are constant, then

$\frac{w_1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{w_2}{\lambda_2}$

We need to find $w_2$ , then

$w_2 = \frac{w_1}{\lambda_1}\lambda_2$

Replacing with our values:

$w_2 = \frac{4.4*10^{-6}}{487}496$

$w_2 = 4.48*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

A particle's position is given by z(t) = −(6.50 m/s2)t2k for t ≥ 0. (Express your answer in vector form.) a. Find the particle's

blondinia [14]

Answer:

a) $z'(t) =v(t) = -13t$

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

$v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}$

For t = 3.0 s we have:

$v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}$

b) $v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}$

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

$z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m$

$z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m$

And now we can replace and we got:

$V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The particle position is given by:

$z(t) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) t^2, t\geq 0$

Part a

In order to find the velocity we need to take the first derivate for the position function like this:

$z'(t) =v(t) = -13t$

Now we can replace the velocity for t=1.75 s

$v(1.75s) = -13*1.75 =-22.75 \frac{m}{s}$

For t = 3.0 s we have:

$v(3.0s) = -13*3.0 =-39 \frac{m}{s}$

Part b

For this case we can find the average velocity with the following formula:

$v_{avg}= \frac{z_f - z_i}{t_f -t_i}$

And we can find the positions for the two times required like this:

$z_f = z(3.0s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (3.0s)^2=-58.5m$

$z_i = z(1.75s) = -(6.5 \frac{m}{s^2}) (1.75s)^2=-19.906m$

And now we can replace and we got:

$V_{avg}= \frac{-58.5 -(-19.906) m}{3-1.75 s}= -30.875 \frac{m}{s}$

Which type of nuclear reaction involves combining light elements into a heavier element, with a resultant release of great amoun

torisob [31]

Answer: Fusion

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_2^4\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_0^\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{36}^{91}\textrm{Kr}+_{56}^{142}\textrm{Ba}+_{0}^{1}\textrm{n}$

salantis [7]

Answer:

Th-234, Pa-234

Explanation:

In alpha decay, 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost. So U-238 would become Th-234.

In beta decay, one neutron is turned into a proton. So Th-234 would become Pa-234.
