Endless movement between hot and cold will eventually mean the end of the universe. This law is about inefficiency, degeneration and decay. <u>The second law can be expressed in several ways, the simplest being that heat will naturally flow from a hotter to a colder body. At its heart is a property of thermodynamic systems called entropy.</u> Entropy basically means an increase in randomness. Hope this helps mate.

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R

At an amusement park, a roller coaster carrying nine homosexuals, moving at 18 m/s, jumps its track at a point that is 20 meters
Lorico [155]

It is the same if a white father and a white mother give birth to a black kid, so the mother accuses the father for having (let's say mating) with a black women.

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

At what point is the northern hemisphere pointed farthest away from the sun?
inna [77]
<span>Well, It is the aphelion point, When the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, when the Northern Hemisphere is warm. the Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months. Well this kind of weather is very nice.</span>
