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.

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

$I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

now we have

$I_1 = mr^2$

$I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)$

$I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2$

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

$I_2 = mr^2$

$I_2 = 1r^2$

now from above equation we have

$(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)$

$r = 0.04 m$

so final distance is 0.04 m between them

If two opposite charges get farther apart, does their attraction for each other increase, decrease, or remain the same?

wlad13 [49]

The force between them <em>decreases</em><em>,</em> as the square of the distance.

For example ...

-- If you move them apart to double the original distance, the force becomes (1/2²) = 1/4 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 3 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/3²) = 1/9 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 5 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/5²) = 1/25 of the original force.

(Gravity works exactly the same way.)
