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 hot and cold object are placed in contact, the hot one loses energy. Does this violate energy conservation? Why or why no
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

This does not violate the conservation of energy.

Explanation:

This does not violate the conservation of energy because the hot body gives energy in the form of heat to the colder body, this second absorbs energy. This will be the case until both bodies reach the same temperature, reaching thermal equilibrium and reducing the transfer of thermal energy. In this way the energy was only transferred from one body to another but the total energy of the system (body 1 plus body 2) will be the same as in the beginning, respecting the principle of conservation of energy or also called the first principle of thermodynamics .

The part of physics that studies these processes is in turn called heat transfer or heat transfer or thermal transfer. Heat transfer occurs whenever there is a thermal gradient or when two systems with different temperatures come into contact. The process persists until thermal equilibrium is reached, that is, until temperatures are equalized. When there is a temperature difference between two objects or regions close enough, the heat transfer cannot be stopped, it can only be slowed down.

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-dia
Mashcka [7]

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

<h3>What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Pressure is  mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is  mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N

Heat is the cause and temperature is an effect.How?​
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

This is your answer(☞゚∀゚)☞

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of motion of the molecules. ... As we add heat to a substance, we speed up the motion of the molecules in substance, hence, we increase their kinetic energy. So as we add heat to a substance, the temperature Increases.
