Which best describes the second law of thermodynamics? energy is not created nor destroyed, but it can change into matter. energ

y is not created nor destroyed, but it can change from one energy form to another. energy can be created from matter or used to produce matter. some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs. energy transfers are always 100% efficient in changing energy from one useful form to another?

Answer:

Some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs.

Explanation:

When heat is converted into useful work then in that case some of the energy is transferred from high temperature reservoir to low temperature reservoir this energy transfer is always counted as heat loss.

So here we can say that

Q_{in} = W + Q_{out}

here we can say that heat is transferred from high temperature reservoir to some useful work with some of the energy is transferred to low temperature reservoir.

So efficiency of any heat engine is not possible to have 100%

so here correct answer will be

some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs.

488 J of work is done to a box which is moved across the floor for a distance of 8.9 m. What net force is required to act on the
kvv77 [185]
According to the formula
a = f \times d
Where a is work, f is force and d is the distance that box was moved over. And from that formula, you can get that f = a/d and that is 54.83N of force

What is the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at a frequency of 99.5 MHz
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=3.01\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f = 99.5 MHz = 99.5 × 10⁶ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at above frequency. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

c=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}{

c = speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{99.5\times 10^6\ Hz}

\lambda=3.01\ m

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station is 3.01 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Perhaps to confuse a predator, some tropical gyrinid beetles(whirligig beetles) are colored by optical interference that is duet
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is relate to interference effect given in the Young's Slits. Here was demonstrated that the length of the side labelled \lambda is known as the path difference. The equation is given by,

n\lambda = dsin\theta

Where,

\lambda= wavelenght of light

N = a positive integer: 1,2,3...

\theta = Angle from the center of the wall to the dark spot

d= width of the slit

Replacing our values we have that for n=1,

dsin\theta = n\lambda

dsin(30)=(1)(539*10^{-9})

d=1.078*10^{-6}m

Therefore the grating spacing of the beetle is 1.078*10^{-6}m
