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.

If a light ray from a candle strikes a mirror at an angle of 40° with the normal, at what angle will the ray reflect?. Select on
tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

Law of reflection:

  • Angle of incident is equal to angle of reflection;∠i=∠r
  • Incident ray, reflected ray and normal to the reflecting interface at the point of incidence all lie in same plane.

When light ray from candle strikes a mirror at an angle of 40° with the normal, then the angle at which ray reflected back will 40°.

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top
solmaris [256]

Answer:

114.075 N

798.525 Nm

Explanation:

C = Drag coefficient = 0.5

ρ = Density of air = 1.2 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 9 m²

v = Velocity of wind = 6.5 m/s

r = Height of the tree = 7 m

Drag equation

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 0.5\times 9\times 6.5^2\\\Rightarrow F=114.075\ N

Magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy is 114.075 N

Toque is given by the product of force and radius

\tau=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau=114.075\times 7\\\Rightarrow \tau=798.525\ Nm

Torque exerted on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground is 798.525 Nm
