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

Physics

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.

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Darwin is sitting on top of a 10 m tree and decided to drop a 3 kg baseball to the ground. What is the velocity when the PE turn
Nimfa-mama [501]

The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground.  It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.

It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.

More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.

When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?
Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>
