2 answers:

4 0

The second and third laws of thermodynamics states that absolute zero cannot be reached. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". Both the laws actually deal with the relations that exist between heat and other forms of energy. I hope the answer helps you.

Answer:

D. the third law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

As per third law of thermodynamics we know that entropy of a perfect crystal comes to zero when the temperature of the crystal reaches to absolute zero.

So as per the theory of entropy we know that entropy of a system cannot be zero as it will reach zero then system will not exist.

So here we can say that

As per third law it is not possible to achieve zero kelvin or absolute zero temperature because at that temperature the entropy will become zero and then the system will not exist in that case.

So here we can say the correct answer will be

D. the third law of thermodynamics

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman $= \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508$

The density of the woman is calculate as;

$Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water$
