Which statement correctly describes the movement of thermal energy according to the second law of thermodynamics? The natural te

ndency of systems is for heat to flow from a cooler object to a warmer one. The natural tendency of systems is to evenly distribute energy until the objects are the same temperature. The natural tendency of systems is for heat to flow continuously between objects of the same temperature.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

The natural tendency of systems is to evenly distribute energy until the objects are the same.

Explanation:

Thermal equilibrium

When ever two bodies differing in temperatures comes in contact with each other heat flow takes place from hotter body to cooler body in order to establish an equilibrium in which temperature of both the bodies becomes constant.

According to second law of thermodynamics:

When the energy of the system increases, matter moves more freely and change in entropy that is disorderliness of the system increases.

This increase in entropy is due to the energy possessed by the matter particles which has resulted in their motion or movement

With this increase in entropy of system, system will start interacting with its surroundings .And this interaction will results in evenly distribution of energy in its surroundings.

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

  • 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }

f=20 \ s^{-1}

  • 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
  • Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

f= 20 \ Hz

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>

Which items are matter?
Mumz [18]
Without being provided a list of items, I would have to generally say that everything around you is matter. There are a few exceptions to this list, but a general rule of thumb is anything you can touch, taste, smell or hold would be considered matter. Sound, light, time (Dr. Who may disagree) and heat would be considered non-matter items.

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m

A compound microscope has an objective lens of focal length 1.40 cm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 2.20 cm. The objectiv
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

magnification is - 159

objective distance is 3.85 cm

Explanation:

Given data

focal length f1 = 1.40 cm

focal length f2 = 2.20 cm

separated d = 19.6 cm

to find out

angular magnification and How far from the objective

solution

we know magnification formula that is

magnification = ( - L / f1 ) (D/f2)

here D = 25 cm put all value

magnification = ( - 19.6 / 1.40 ) (25/2.20)

magnification = - 159

and

now we apply lens formula

i/f = 1/q + 1/p

p = f2 = 2.20

so

q = f2 p / p -f2

q = 1.4(2.20) / ( 2.2 - 1.4 )

q = 3.85 cm

so objective distance is 3.85 cm
