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

Physics
1 answer:
9966 [12]2 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 0.350kg bead slides on a curved fritionless wire,
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

h2 = 0.092m

Explanation:

From a balance of energy from point A to point B, we get speed before the collision:

m1*g*h-\frac{m1*V_B^2}{2}=0  Solving for Vb:

V_B=\sqrt{2gh}=6.56658m/s

Since the collision is elastic, we now that velocity of bead 1 after the collision is given by:

V_{B'}=V_B*\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2} = \sqrt{2gh}* \frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2}=-1.34316m/s

Now, by doing another balance of energy from the instant after the collision, to the point where bead 1 stops, we get the distance it rises:

m1*g*h2-\frac{m1*V_{B'}^2}{2}=0 Solving for h2:

h2 = 0.092m
