Issac Newton

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light, and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks. He was the first to use the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in this sense in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.

Which statements describe properties of stars? Check all that apply.
Shtirlitz [24]
One, three and five are correct.

Although if the second statement is saying that stars use gravitational force to support nuclear fusion which in turn produces energy then that would be correct, but I don’t think so :)

What is newton's third law second law first law ?​
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

first law: an object remains in uniform motion except an external force has acted upon it eg a ball in stable motion doesn't move until one moves or kicks it

second law:the body acted upon by an external force gains a momentum which is directly proportional to the applied force and acts in the direction of the force

third law: to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction eg if u push someone the person moves backward away from you and not towards you

Two objects form a closed system. One object, which is at 400 K, absorbs 25.0 kJ of heat from the other object,which is at 500 K
Damm [24]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

       T_{1} = 400 K,     T_{2} = 500 K,  

\Delta Q = 25 kJ = 25000 J   (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in entropy as follows.

            \Delta S = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta T}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

           \Delta S = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta T}

                      = \frac{25000 J}{(500 K - 400 K)}      

                      = 250 J/K

Hence, we can conclude that change in entropy is 250 J/K.
