What is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics?

Physics
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Increase in the entropy of the universe are the result of chemical reactions

Explanation:

The second law tells about the quality of energy such that any isolated system tends to become more disordered. Any natural Process occurring on its own is irreversible and entropy is increasing for that process.  

The entropy of the Universe is increasing which is the result of chemical reactions. Any chemical reaction which increases the number of gas molecules will generate more entropy. Entropy in simple meaning is the order of randomness.

When a trebuchet counterweight is hoisted by soldiers, what form of energy is
vladimir1956 [14]
10. A safe place to use the trebuchet would be away from other buildings and people. A good example of a place would be a large field with no nearby structures. 
14. Many factors need to be kept consistent throughout the experiment. One example of a variable that would need to be consistent is the weight and size of the projectile. 
15. It is important to do many trials so that you can make sure that the results of each trial are nearly the same. If they are all vastly different, then it means that something has gone wrong. 

Sorry I was only able to answer a few questions, but I hope these few answers help! :)

The kinematic equations of motion that apply here are<span>y(t)=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>and<span>x(t)=votcos(θ)</span>Setting y(t)=0 yields <span>0=votsin(θ)−12gt2</span>. If we solve for t, we obtain, by factoring,<span>t=<span>2vsin(θ)g</span></span>Substitute this into our equation for x(t).

A photon ionizes a hydrogen atom from the ground state. The liberated electron 11. recombines with a proton into the first excit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

Explanation:

given,

energy at ground level = -13.6 e V

energy at first exited state = - 3.4 e V

A photon of energy ionized from ground state and electron of energy K is released.

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

K combine with photon in first exited state giving out photon of energy

h\nu_2 =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=\dfrac{12400}{466}

            = 26.6 e V

h c = 6.626 ×  10⁻³⁴ ×  3  × 10⁸  = 12400 e V A°

K + ( 3.4 ) = 26.6 e V

a) energy of free electron

K = 26.6 - 3.4 = 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

h ν₁  = 23.2 + 13.6

       = 36.8 e V

energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

The pirate ship tie at the amusement park is a giant pendulum that riders sit in. It swings back and forth, with a maximum veloc
kkurt [141]

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h

h = \frac{200}{9.8)

h = 20.4 m

so maximum height is 20.4 m
