B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.

Answer:

B. Its randomness would increase.

Explanation:

Thermodynamics is referred as the study of heat and energy. It explains the movement of energy within and outside any system.

The second law of thermodynamics explains about the inefficiency and decay of a system. Amount of work done will increase the amount of energy released which is irreversible hence the feasibility and efficiency will keep on increasing.

Elden [556K]
<span>B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria.</span>

Looking at the data, the conclusion is pretty obvious, the two different types of soap resulted in about half the bacteria cultures as either the hand sanitizer, or just using warm water. In fact, the hand sanitizer looks like it's even worse than simply using warm water. So looking at the four available options, the best choice is "B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria."

amid [387]
<span>A. Rocket A will travel farther horizontally than rocket B.

This is because from the x axis, 40 m/s at 90 degrees travels directly vertical. 40 m/s at 70 degrees is slightly horizontal, so it will travel further horizontally.</span>

A catapult with a spring constant of 10,000 N/m is used to launch a target from the deck of a ship. The spring is compressed a d
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

(C) 40m/s

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant of the catapult, k = 10,000 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 0.5 m

mass of the launched object, m = 1.56 kg

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

Elastic potential energy of the catapult = kinetic energy of the target launched.

¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is the target's  velocity as it leaves the catapult

kx² = mv²

v² = kx² / m

v² = (10000 x 0.5²) / (1.56)

v² = 1602.56

v = √1602.56

v = 40.03 m/s

v ≅ 40 m/s

Therefore, the target's velocity as it leaves the spring is 40 m/s

Potassium-40 has a half-life of approximately 1.25 billion years. Approximately how many years will pass before a sample of pota
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

3.75 billion years

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 1.25 billion years

Number of half-lives (n) = 3

Time (t) =?

The time taken for the sample of potassium-40 to contains one-eighth the original amount of parent isotope can be obtained as:

n = t / t½

3 = t / 1.25

Cross multiply

t = 3 × 1.25

t = 3.75 billion years.

Therefore, it will take 3.75 billion years for the sample of potassium-40 to contains one-eighth the original amount of parent isotope
