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.

How might observations of the sun's outermost layers reveal what's happening in the interior? and how could this information be
LuckyWell [14K]
A raging activity can be found in t<span>he Sun's interior, with pressure waves being produced and travelling back and forth, from the core to the surface and back to the core. By looking closely at the 'surface' we can see these "ripples".  It gives us an idea of how dense the material was that the waves passed through. In a way, this can help to predict solar storms in the future.</span>

m = 43.2 kg

Explanation:

volume of sphere = (4/3)pi(r)^3

= (4/3)(3.14)(2 m)^3

= 33.5 m^3

density = mass/volume

or solving for mass m,

m = (density)×(volume)

= (1.29 kg/m^3)(33.5 m^3)

= 43.2 kg
