Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness present in a substance. This means that more randomly the atoms in a substance are moving more will be entropy of the substance.
Entropy of a substance increases with increase in temperature.
For example, when a piece of wood is burned then its molecules will gain kinetic energy and hence, they start to move randomly from one place to another.
As a result, there will occur an increase in its entropy.
Thus, we can conclude that when a piece of wood is burned then its entropy increases.
Decreases with a decrease in density of medium
Answer:
The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.
Explanation:
Let suppose that spaceship is accelerated uniformly. A yard equals 0.914 meters. A feet equals 0.304 meters. If air viscosity and friction can be neglected, then acceleration (
), measured in meters per square second, is estimated by this kinematic formula:
(1)
Where:
- Travelled distance, measured in meters.
,
- Initial and final speeds of the spaceship, measured in meters.
If we know that
,
and
, then the acceleration experimented by the spaceship is:


The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by

where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.
In our problem, the work done is

and the distance through which the force is applied is

, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
