What happens to the entropy of a piece of wood as it is burned?

Physics
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness present in a substance. This means that more randomly the atoms in a substance are moving more will be entropy of the substance.

Entropy of a substance increases with increase in temperature.

For example, when a piece of wood is burned then its molecules will gain kinetic energy and hence, they start to move randomly from one place to another.

As a result, there will occur an increase in its entropy.

Thus, we can conclude that when a piece of wood is burned then its entropy increases.

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%

Answer the following question​
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) OA, AB, BC

B) 25m/s^2

C) see explanation

D) 25

E) Rest

Explanation:

From the Velocity time graph shown:

The positive slope = OA ; This is positive because, it is the point of uniform acceleration on the graph.

Constant slope = AB, the slope here is constant because, AB on the graph is the point of constant velocity.

-ve slope = BC

B) Acceleration of body in path OA.

Acceleration = change in Velocity / time

Acceleration = (150 - 0) / 6

Acceleration = 150/6 = 25m/s^2

C) Path AB is Parallel to the because it marks the period of constant velocity (that is Velocity does not increase or decrease during the time interval).

D) Length of BC

BC corresponds to the distance moved, that velocity / time

Velocity = 150 ; time = 6

Therefore Distance (BC) = 150/6 = 25

E.) Velocity =0 ; Hence body is at rest

if a ball with an original velocity of 0 is dropped from a tall structure and takes 7 Seconds to hit the ground what velocity do
krok68 [10]

a_y=\dfrac{v_y-v_{0y}}t\implies-9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{v_y-0}{7\,\mathrm s}\implies v_y=-68.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}
