Does this diagram illustrate the second law of thermodynamics? Why or why not

No, it does not because the diagram shows all the thermal energy added to the system being transformed into work. The second law of thermodynamics states that engines or machines cannot be 100 percent efficient because some thermal energy is released to the surroundings.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The diagram is not showing the second law of thermodynamics. It is the demonstration of 1st law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Second law of thermodynamics describes the entropy of the system increase with time, it does not decrease with time. It is constant for ideal systems.

While in first law of thermodynamics, it is stated that the energy of a system can not be lost but it is transferred from one form to other form.

And in this picture, it is shown that the energy released from heat source to cold sink is used in doing work.

Work and heat are forms of energy.

Liula [17]
<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam. 
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam? 
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip? 
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support. 

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam? 
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th
leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference  and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that  here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength  so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4

How does the force affect the rocks during collisions? *
Jet001 [13]

In a collision, there is a force on both objects that causes an acceleration of both objects; the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. For collisions between equal-mass objects, each object experiences the same acceleration.

Which of the following is considered a physical change? burning paper rusting of metal evaporating water
alex41 [277]

When paper burns, some of the chemical compounds in the
paper combine with oxygen in the air and become different
chemical compounds.  That's a chemical change.

When iron rusts, or copper or silver turns green, that's the result
of the metal at the surface combining with the oxygen in the air and
forming a new chemical compound.  Those are chemical changes.

When water evaporates, H₂O in the liquid phase gains thermal
energy and changes to H₂O in the gaseous phase. No chemical
compounds are lost, gained, or changed to other compounds. 
It's just a physical change.
