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.

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .
