Answer:

(B) L=W; F=D

Explanation:

Since the airplane's velocity is constant, the airplane is not accelerating in any direction. In absence of acceleration, all forces acting on the plane are balanced so that the net forces in the horizontal and the vertical directions are zero. Given the drawing, this implies that

Forward force = Drag force (F=D)

Weight = Lift (W=L)

which corresponds to option (B)

(it is not C because nothing in the text says that the vertical and horizontal components have to have same magnitude)

What is the entropy of isolated system?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system

Explanation:

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.

In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.  

However, in the case of an isolated system in an <u>irreversible process</u>, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a <u>reversible process</u> the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.

How do you calculate the power in a circuit or device if given the current and the resistance?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

you use the Ohms law so to find the voltage you would need to multiply the current by the resistance which gives you the power.

V- voltage

I- current

R- resistance

V= I×R
