Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?

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.

A ruler has a division of 1mm. You use the ruler to measure a piece of paper. You find that it is 7.4 cm wide and 8.3 cm long. W

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the dimension of a paper measured by a ruler as 7.4 cm wide and 8.3 cm long, the area of the paper is expressed using the area for calculating the area of a rectangle as shown;

Area of the piece of paper = Length * Width

Given length = 7.4cm

Length = 74mm (Since 10mm = 1cm)

Width = 8.3cm

Width (in mm) = 83mm

We converted to mm since the ruler used to measure has a division of 1mm.

Substituting the given values into the formula, we will have:

Area of the piece of paper = 74mm * 83mm

Area of the piece of paper = 6,142mm²

<em>Hence, the area of the piece of paper is 6,142mm²</em>

The impulse given to a ball with mass of 4 kg is 28 N s. If the ball were already moving at 3 m/s what would the final velocity

mart [117]

vf = 10 m/s. A ball with mass of 4kg and a impulse given of 28N.s with a intial velocity of 3m/s would have a final velocity of 10 m/s.

The key to solve this problem is using the equation I = F.Δt = m.Δv, Δv = vf - vi.

The impulse given to the ball with mass 4Kg is 28 N.s. If the ball were already moving at 3 m/s, to calculate its final velocity:

I = m(vf - vi) -------> I = m.vf - m.vi ------> vf = (I + m.vi)/m ------> vf = I/m + vi

Where I 28 N.s, m = 4 Kg, and vi = 3 m/s

vf = (28N.s/4kg) + 3m/s = 7m/s + 3m/s

vf = 10 m/s.

A rock with a mass of 540 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 342 g when submerged in water. (a) What mass of water is

AleksandrR [38]

(a) 198 g

When the rock is submerged into the water, there are two forces acting on the rock:

- its weight, equal to $W=mg$ (m=mass, g=acceleration of gravity), downward

- the buoyant force, equal to $B=m_w g$ ( $m_w$ =mass of water displaced), upward

So the resultant force, which is the apparent weight of the rock (W'), is

$W'=W-B$

which can be rewritten as

$m'g = mg-m_w g$

where m' is the apparent mass of the rock. Using:

m = 540 g

m' = 342 g

we find the mass of water displaced

$m_w = m-m'=540 g-342 g=198 g$

(b) $1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

If the rock is completely submerged, the volume of the rock corresponds to the volume of water displaced.

The volume of water displaced is given by

$V_w = \frac{m_w}{\rho_w}$

where

$m_w = 198 g = 0.198 kg$ is the mass of the water displaced

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of the water

Substituting,

$V_w = \frac{0.198}{1000}=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And so this is also the volume of the rock.

(c) $2727 kg/m^3$

The average density of the rock is given by

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 540 g = 0.540 kg is the mass of the rock

$V=1.98\cdot 10^{-4} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\rho = \frac{0.540 kg}{1.98\cdot 10^{-4}}=2727 kg/m^3$

What are two ways that machines can change the way that work is done?

algol [13]

Machines makes work easier by increasing the amount of force that is applied, and changing the direction in which the force is applied !! Hope it helped (p.s. I had this same question)
