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.

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Answer:

New speed of the 22-kg block is 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of block  

Mass of another block  

Initial speed of the block  

Initial speed  of the another block  

Initial speed  of the another block  

For conservation of momentum, we have

Substitute all the values and solving for final speed of the 22kg block is

new speed of the 22-kg block is 1.57 m/s
