Answer: Entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of degree of randomness or disorder.

The systems which have more randomness or disorder of particles have more value of entropy and the system with more ordered arrangement of particles will have less entropy.

Solids with more ordered arrangement of atoms have less entropy and gases with random movement of molecules have more entropy.

A car accelerates from rest at 5 m/sec2 for 12 seconds what is the final velocity
VladimirAG [237]

 Vi =0  ( as car starts from rest )

Acceleration= a = 5m/s²

t =12sec

Vf =Vi + at

Vf= 0 + (5m/s²) (12s)

Vf=60 m/s

A sound wave produced by a chime 515 m away is heard 1.50 s later. What is the speed of the sound in the air?
aliina [53]

Answer:

the speed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed of the sound in the air is shown below:

As we know that

Speed = Distance ÷ time

So, here speed be 515 m

And, the time is 1.50 seconds

So, the speed of the sound is

= 515 m ÷ 1.50 seconds

= 343.3 m/s

hence, the speed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s

I really need help with the graphs
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

t = 2s

Explanation:

When you're looking for instantaneous portions of a graph, of any sort really, it means you're observing a rate at a single point in time [or possibly some other variable]. It's sorta like a snapshot of a rate as opposed to an average rate over an interval. After choosing this rate we'll typically draw a straight, tangent line through it to indicate it's slope. (Tangent lines are just lines that only touch a single point on a graph or shape.)

Another thing to take note of are the values of the graph's major axes. The "y-axis" corresponds to velocity in meters per second, while the "x-axis" corresponds to time in seconds. Normally when relating the two we put "y" over the "x" and say that at any point there are "y[units]" per "x[units]". Though with instantaneous rates, we say the value of "x" is "1"; for reasons I can try to further explain later if you'd like.

With the above information in mind we can turn our attention to your graph. You're told to find the point on this graph where the instantaneous rate of acceleration is -2 m/s². The only place where the graph reflects an instantaneous rate of -2m/s² is at t = 2s. At t = 2, the rate comes out to (2[m/s]/1s), which simplifies to 2m/s². If you then draw the tangent line through the point, you'll find that the line is decreasing (going down from left to right) which means that the instantaneous rate is negative.

So at t = 2s, we have an instantaneous acceleration of -2m/s².
