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.

postnew [5]

Answer:

the responding variable is the water boiling

Explanation:

a responding variable is the same thing as a dependent variable and an independent variable you change the independent variable is the amount of salt, the control group is how long water takes to boil without adding salt, and a constant is the same amount of water

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.
KatRina [158]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • In a freshwater lake
  • In the atmosphere
  • In Earth's mantle
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
  • <em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>

wo lacrosse players collide in midair. Jeremy has a mass of 120 kg and is moving at a speed of 3 m/s. Hans has a mass of 140 kg
Julli [10]

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of Jeremy is 120 kg (M_J)

Speed of Jeremy is 3 m/s (V_J)

Speed of Jeremy after collision is (V_{JA}) -2.5 m/s

Mass of Hans is 140 kg (M_H)

Speed of Hans is -2 m/s (V_H)

Speed of Hans after collision is (V_{HA})

Linear momentum is defined as “mass time’s speed of the vehicle”. Linear momentum before the collision of Jeremy and Hans is  

= =\mathrm{M}_{1} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{J}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{H}}

Substitute the given values,

= 120 × 3 + 140 × (-2)

= 360 + (-280)

= 80 kg m/s

Linear momentum after the collision of Jeremy and Hans is  

= =\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{J}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{JA}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{HA}}

= 120 × (-2.5) + 140 × V_{HA}

= -300 + 140 × V_{HA}

We know that conservation of liner momentum,

Linear momentum before the collision = Linear momentum after the collision

80 = -300 + 140 × V_{HA}

80 + 300 = 140 × V_{HA}

380 = 140 × V_{HA}

380/140= V_{HA}

V_{HA} = 2.71 m/s

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
