Which is a correct statement of the second law of thermodynamics? Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing. Nature allow

s the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy, but not vice versa. Heat is the only form of energy that can be converted into work with 100% efficiency. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change form.

Answer:

Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing.

Explanation:

Entropy is the loss of available energy when it is in transit. The entropy of a system increases consuming the energy, this energy is now unavailable for doing the work or making the corresponding changes in the property of a system.

Entropy is the measure of randomness of a system. It is a toll that the nature takes for energy in transit.

The second law of thermodynamics concludes that all the energy cannot be transformed from one form to another and the flow of energy has a specific direction.

If a reversible process occurs, there is no net change in entropy. In an irreversible process, entropy always increases, so the change in entropy is positive. The total entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take the measurement of the distance (d) with a meter rule (in meters) and also measure the time (t) of the travel in seconds with a stopwatch.

question: What is the speed of the cart?

Explanation:

The speed of an object in motion is the distance covered by the object with respect to time, that is, the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to reach that distance.

Speed = distance / time

           = d (in meters m) / t (in seconds s) = m/s

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 5.6 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 140 A. (a) What is the mag
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

(a) B = 5.6 micro Tesla

Explanation:

Current in the wire, i = 140 A

distance, r = 5 m

The formula for the magnetic field at a distance r due to the current carrying wire

B=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}

B=10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times140}{5}

B = 5.6 x 10^-6 Tesla

B = 5.6 micro Tesla

(b) As the magnetic field of earth at this site is 20 micro tesla so the magnetic field due to current carrying wire interfere the magnetic compass.

Many people never even taste butter, instead use oleo or margerine...fake stuff. Real butter is the best topping for popcorn! And crab legs are good dipped in it, as well as hot corn on the cobb. This is how I eat butter.
