<span>This is not a violation of entropy principle, because this law is not violated in any way as it applies to both real an ideal situations independently. The entropy of a real system always raises and is an irreversible process.</span>

A fence 8 ft high​ (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft​ (d) from it. Find the length​ (L) of the shortest ladder t
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}

L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}

BC = \frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}.................2

Substitute 2 into 1

L^2 = (\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2 + (24 + AE)^2

Let AE = x

L^2 = (\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

    = (8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

Minimize L with respect to x.

2\frac{dL}{dx} = 2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)

       =

Describe two possibilities of what will happen to the universe in the future.
shutvik [7]
In our current view of the Universe there are 2 possible futures. One possiblity is that the Universe will come to an end in the opposite of a Big Bang called The Big Crunch. The other possibility is that we live in an Eternal Universe that will never come to end.

i hope this helps :)

Answer:

F=30N

a= 3m/s^2

m=?

F=ma

30=m(3)

30/3=m

m=10kg

A 30 g bullet moving a horizontal velocity of 500 m/s comes to a stop 12 cm within a solid wall. (a) what is the change in the b
Sidana [21]
M = 30 g = 0.03 kg, the mass of the bullet
v = 500 m/s, the velocity of the bullet

By definition, the KE (kinetic energy) of the bullet is
KE = (1/2)*m*v²
      = 0.5*(0.03 kg)*(500 m/s)² = 3750 J
Because the bullet comes to rest, the change in mechanical energy is 3750 J.

The work done by the wall to stop the bullet in 12 cm is
W = (1/2)*(F N)*(0.12 m) = 0.06F J

If energy losses in the form of heat or sound waves are ignored, then
W = KE.
That is,
0.06F = 3750
F = 62500 N = 62.5 kN

Answer:
(a) 3750 J
(b) 62.5 kN
