The entropy of a hot baked potato decreases as it cools. is this a violation of the increase of entropy principle? explain.

1 answer:

6 0

<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>

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?

likoan [24]

It is the acceleration of an object in free fall

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

a is the acceleration of the object

m is the mass

However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that

$mg = ma\\\rightarrow a = g$

Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, $g=9.8 m/s^2$ .

17. A 25 kg block is initially at rest on a rough, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 75 N is required to set

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

0.30581

0.24464

Explanation:

$\mu_s$ = Coefficient of static friction

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

$F_f$ = 75 N

$F_k$ = 60 N

Normal force

$F_n=mg\\\Rightarrow F_n=25\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=245.25\ N$

Frictional force

$F_f=\mu_sF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{F_f}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{75}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.30581$

The coefficient of static friction is 0.30581

Kinetic force

$F_k=\mu_kF_n\\\Rightarrow \mu_k=\frac{F_k}{F_n}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=\frac{60}{245.25}\\\Rightarrow \mu_s=0.24464$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24464

Reactive elements such as alkali metals and halogens are found in nature only as

bonufazy [111]

Compounds

Explanation:

Reactive elements such as alkali metals and halogens are found in nature only as compounds. Such elements are too unstable to remain as stable atoms, therefore they readily combine and form compounds.

Compounds are formed when two atoms combines together to share electrons.
They either lose, gain, or share electrons between themselves.
In the end, they end up becoming more stable.
This is the reason why atoms combine.
Unstable elements are very reactive especially alkali metals and halogens.
On their own, they are unstable and prefers to bond with other atoms in order to gain a measure of stability.
This is why they are found in combined state in nature.

The intensity of light from a star varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet ten times farther aw

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

When light is reflected, the incident rays are bent and change direction.<br> True<br> False

Helga [31]

Answer: True

Explanation: When light is reflected off lets say a mirror it is bent and changes direction to bounce off of another wall or object. For example if you take a flash light and shine it into a mirror the light reflects into a different direction your welcome
