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.

The apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water is 4.24084 N.

<h3>What is Apparent Weight?</h3>

According to physics, an object's perceived weight is a characteristic that describes how heavy it is. When the force of gravity acting on an object is not counterbalanced by a force of equal but opposite normality, the apparent weight of the object will differ from the actual weight of the thing.
By definition, an object's weight is equal to the strength of the gravitational force pulling on it. It follows that even a "weightless" astronaut in low Earth orbit, with an apparent weight of zero, has almost the same weight that he would have if he were standing on the ground; this is because the gravitational pull of low Earth orbit and the ground are nearly equal.

Solution:

N = Speed of rotation = 1250 rpm

D = Diameter = 45 cm

r = Radius = 22.5 cm

M = Mass of drop = 1.1 g

Angular speed of the water = $\omega = \frac{2\pi N}{60}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi \times 1250}{60}$

$\omega = 130.89 rad/s$

Apparent weight is given by

$W _a = M\omega^{2}R$

$W_a = 1.1 \times 10^-^3\times (130.89)^2\times 0.225$

$W_a$ = 4.24084 N

Question:

The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it is efficiently squeezed through the clothes and out the holes in the drum. In a top loader's spin cycle, the 45-cm-diameter drum spins at 1250 rpm around a vertical axis. What is the apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water?

Whenever two apollo astronauts were on the surface of the moon, a third astronaut orbited the moon. assume the orbit to be circu

almond37 [142]

Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"

Solution

part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude ( $h=430 km=4.3 \cdot 10^5 m$ ) of the orbit:
$r= r_0 + h=1.7 \cdot 10^6 m + 4.3 \cdot 10^5 m=2.13 \cdot 10^6 m$
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude, $g=1.08 m/s^2$ . So we can write
$g=a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where $a_c$ is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
$v= \sqrt{g r}= \sqrt{(1.08 m/s^2)(2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}=1517 m/s = 1.52 km/s$

part b) The orbit has a circumference of $2 \pi r$ , and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
$T= \frac{2 \pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi (2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}{1517 m/s} =8818 s = 2.45 h$
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.
