ORLANDO, Fla. —

The NBA playoffs will pick up again this weekend after players made a powerful statement on Wednesday.

Athletes have a voice when it comes to change and demands for social justice. Their impact is extending off the court and into the world.

"We stand with them, we support them and we're there for them," Michael-Carter Williams said.

The Orlando Magic's Michael Carter-Williams spoke Thursday about the Milwaukee Bucks' decision not to play Wednesday and instead, making a demand for the end to social injustice.

"We have a big platform that we can use to really make change in this country and we can go home to our communities and make change there," Carter-Williams said.

The Bucks' decision led to all NBA games being postponed Wednesday, some baseball games weren't played, as well as soccer, and the WNBA.

"This was a historic moment last night, we never had anything like that happen before," Dr. Richard Lapchick said.

Lapchick is a UCF professor who is also the president of the Institute for Sport and Social Justice.

He says the impact from Wednesday's boycott can't be overstated.

"The unity that occurred between the players and teams and leagues, was particularly impressive," Lapchick said. "The importance of what the players are doing, and what the country is doing in response, is looking at more than police brutality, it's looking at systemic racism."

"People are just tired of what's going on, there's no justice at all," Sandy Lallavee said.

Lallavee is one of the many residents we spoke to who supports the athletes' desire for a committed dialogue and effective change.

"I think it's the right thing to do right now, I support their decision and I think it's terrible what's happening in the world, in America," Gerrod Trytten said.

"It's a younger generation doing things and trying to make change, I respect them and I think they're doing the right thing," Nick Trapp said.

"They're showing their humanity, they're showing what they really care about in society," Lapchick said.

Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)

Explanation:

Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :

ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T

if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly

ΔS al =∫dQ/T  

in the surroundings

ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K

the total entropy change will be

ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr

ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =

ΔS total ≥ 0

the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings

Determine a formula for the acceleration of the system in terms of mA, mB, θ, and g. Ignore the mass of the cord and pulley. Exp
jekas [21]

Answer:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB}

Explanation:

Given two mass on an incline code mA and mB and an angle of inclination \theta. g. Assume that mA is the weight being pulled up and mB the hanging weight.

-The equations of motion from Newton's Second Law are:

mBg-T=mBa where a is the acceleration.

#Substituting for T (tension) gives:

mBg-mAsin\theta-mAa=mBa

#and solving for a:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB} which is the system's acceleration.

A 60-watt light bulb has a voltage of 120 bolts applied across it and a current of 0.5 amperes flows through the bulb. What is t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

240 ohms

Explanation:

From Ohms law we deduce that V=IR and making R the subject of the formula then R=V/I where R is resistance, I is current and V is coltage across. Substituting 120 V for V and 0.5 A for A then

R=120/0.5=240 Ohms

Alternatively, resistance is equal to voltage squared divided by watts hence \frac {120^{2}}{60}=240
