Answer:  A. play a single song by a single artist

Explanation: Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system that has more random distribution is considered to have more entropy and a system with ordered arrangement is considered to have less entropy.

Playing a single song by a single artist has least randomness , and lowest disorder and thus has lowest entropy.

9. A car driver brakes gently. Her car slows down front --
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2

Am arrow of mass 1000kg is shot into a wooden block of mass 5000lg lying at rest in a smooth surface.If the arrow travels 15m/s
Ber [7]

Answer:

Vf=3

Explanation:

you must first write your data

data before impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=0 m/s V2 =0m/s

data after impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=15m/s V2=?

M1V1 +M2V2=M1V1 +M2V2f

(1000)(0)+(5000)(0)=(1000)(15)+(5000)Vf

0=15000+5000Vf

- 15000÷5000=5000Vf÷5000

Vf= -3

Vf =3

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

Grace rides her bike at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour. How far can she travel in 2 1/2 hours?
aliina [53]

Answer:

15 miles

Explanation:

6 miles per hour

2 1/2 hours

6 x 2 = 12

6 x 1/2 = 3

12 + 3 = 15

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?
spayn [35]
Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.
