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.

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of beryllium for which a=10? enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.g., 42he).
galben [10]
An isotope is defined as an element that has the same number of protons as the common element but different number of neutrons. In this case, a beryllium atom has a molar weight of 10 amu. Thus, there are 4 protons and 6 neutrons. The nuclear symbol of Be-10 is 4 Be10
