Which statement describes the relationship between energy and entropy in the universe?

Physics
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]4 years ago
6 0
The correct answer* is:
<span>Energy must be added to decrease entropy. 

In fact, entropy of an isolated system never decreases (2nd law of thermodynamics), unless some external energy is provided in order to "restore" order in the system and decrease its entropy.
(note that when external energy is added to the system, it is no longer "isolated").

*This is only true if the question is referring to a certain system within the universe. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, then this option is no longer correct, because no external energy can be provided to the universe, and since the universe is an isolated system, its entropy can never decrease. </span>If we are considering the universe itself as the system, none of the options is true.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

b) 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

let V be the averare speed of the object.

the average speed is given by:

V = total distance / total time

   = (20+20)/(30+50)

   = 0.5 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the object is 0.5 m/s.

What is an example of speed?
svlad2 [7]
<span>The speed is a scalar quantity which by definition is the distance traveled per unit of time. Unit for speed is: km/h. (how many km the object is moved for one hour) or mph (miles per hour).
From the given option D. A dog runs an average 8 mph. (this means that a dog is moving 8 miles per hour).

A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.
