Answer: C. The Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The law of gravity is related to the force interaction due to gravitation between two bodies (i.e. a person and planet Earth, a star and a planet).

The law of diminishing return is not used in Physics, but in Economics and describes the diminishing of marginal returns in time.

The first law of Thermodynamics analyses the energy interactions of a system in a quantitative manner and it is a generalized form of the Principle of Energy Conservation. It is oriented to the analyses of energy inflows and outflows.

The second law of Thermodynamics analyses the energy interactions of a system in a qualitative manner and it is based on thermodynamic property named Entropy, which may helpful to measure irreversibilities associated with system and irreversibility generation as well, provided that a comparison with another equivalent system exists.

Irreversibilities depends on the characteristics of system and nature of energy sources. Empirically, it is known that heat offers a lower quality than electricity in order to get a available work. That is to say, there is a lower of obtaining available work from heat than from electricity.

Hence, the statement is a consequence of using the second law of Thermodynamics and, therefore, the correct answer is C.

Which example is the site of reduction when the dry cell is operating
Simora [160]

Answer:

A battery contains electrochemical cells that can store chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy. A dry-cell battery stores energy in an immobilized electrolyte paste, which minimizes the need for water. Common examples of dry-cell batteries include zinc-carbon batteries and alkaline batteries.

According to the kinetic molecular theory particles of matter
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______ lens.
NISA [10]
<span>The answer to question 2 is C. A magnifying glass is an example of a plano-convex lens, where one side of the lens is flat and the other is a convex curve. The answer to question 3 is either B or C. A converging lens is curved on both sides and so the rays of light coming out of it converge at a point, which is known as the focal point. When the object is inside the focal point, the image is real and inverted. If it is inside the focal point, the image is virtual and upright. Therefore the image in this question will be upright. The focal length is the distance between the image that is being magnified and the centre of the magnifying lens. A real image can only be formed when the object is further away from the lens than the focal length. Therefore, in this question, the image is virtual, as the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. The answer to question 4 is D because the index of refraction cannot be less than 1. The answer to question 5 is D because only concave mirrors can produce real images; other types produce virtual images. For question 6, the answer is D. In the rainbow, each of the colours refracts at a slightly different angle; red has the smallest refractive index and violet the largest. Of the options, orange is closest to red. For question 12, A is the answer. A higher operating temperature is not a reason fluorescent lamps are better than incandescent lamps because they have a lower operating temperature. Question 15: all of these are characteristics of different electromagetic waves. For question 18, B is true - special care must be taken when low illuminance is required to reduce glare. The answer to question 19 is B - a compound microscope makes use of two lenses. For question 20, the answer is 5 meters away. The illuminance (E) is equal to light intensity (I) divided by the square distance from the light source (d). Therefore, 4 = 100/d squared. To switch this around, d squared is equal to 100/4 = 25. Then find the square root of 25, which is 5.</span>
