Answer:

The correct answer is option'B': Change in entropy

Explanation:

We know from the second law of thermodynamics for any spontaneous process the total entropy of the system and it's surroundings will increase.

Meaning that any unaided process will  move in a direction in which the entropy of the system will increase.It is because the system will always want to increase it's randomness

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li
Alexeev081 [22]

Note: if the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 maxima to be 25 cm

Answer:

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Explanation:

given:

length L = 4.0m

maximum distance between m = 0 and m = 1 , y = 25cm = 0.25m

wavelength λ = 633nm = 633×10⁻⁹m

note:

dsinθ = mλ (constructive interference)

where d is slit seperation, θ is angle of seperation , m is order of interference , and λ is wavelength

for small angle

sinθ ≈ tanθ

d (\frac{y}{L})  = mλ

d (\frac{y}{L}) = (1)(633nm)

d(\frac{0.25}{4} ) = (1)(633nm)

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy of a system consisting of Earth and a brick of mass m placed at Eart
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a system is -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE

Explanation:

Given

mE = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

G = Gravitational Constant

Let p = The mass density of the earth is

p = M/(4/3πRE³)

p = 3M/4πRE³

Taking for instance,a very thin spherical shell in the earth;

Let r = radius

dr = thickness

Its volume is given by;

dV = 4πr²dr

Since mass = density* volume;

It's mass would be

dm = p * 4πr²dr

The gravitational potential at the center due would equal;

dV = -Gdm/r

Substitute (p * 4πr²dr) for dm

dV = -G(p * 4πr²dr)/r

dV = -G(p * 4πrdr)

The gravitational potential at the center of the earth would equal;

V = ∫dV

V = ∫ -G(p * 4πrdr) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp∫rdr {RE,0}

V = -4πGp (r²/2) {RE,0}

V = -4πGp{RE²/2)

V = -4Gπ * 3M/4πRE³ * RE²/2

V = -3/2 GmE/RE

The gravitational potential energy of the system of the earth and the brick at the center equals

U = Vm

U = -3/2 GmE/RE * m

U = -3/2 (GmE)(m)/RE
