In thermodynamics, entropy (symbolized as S) is a physical magnitude for a thermodynamic system in equilibrium. It measures the number of microstates compatible with the equilibrium macrostate, it can also be said that it is the reason for an increase between internal energy versus an increase in system temperature.

The universe tends to distribute energy evenly; that is, to maximize entropy. Intuitively, entropy is a physical quantity that, by calculation, allows us to determine the part of energy per unit of temperature that cannot be used to produce work.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

What happens when an object experiences friction?
kaheart [24]

Answer:Whenever a moving object experiences friction, some of its kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction.

41. Planet Ayanna has a radius of 6.2 X 10%m and orbits the star named Dayli in 98 days. A new neighboring planet Clayton J-21 h
romanna [79]

Answer:

138.3 days

Explanation:

Given that a Planet Ayanna has a radius of 6.2 X 10%m and orbits the star named Dayli in 98 days. A new neighboring planet Clayton J-21 has been discovered and has a radius of 7.8 X 10 meters.

The period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli can be calculated by using Kepler law.

T^2 is proportional to r^3

That is,

T^2/r^3 = constant

98^2 / 62^3 = T^2 / 78^3

Make T^2 the subject of formula.

T^2 = 98^2 / 62^3 × 78^3

T^2 = 19123.2

T = sqrt ( 19123.2 )

T = 138.2867 days

Therefore, the period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli is 138.3 days approximately.

Two electrons are separated by a distance of 3.00 x 10^-6 meter. What are the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force
Brilliant_brown [7]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where 
k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant
r=3.00 \cdot 10^{-6} m is the distance between the two charges.

In our problem, the two charges are two electrons, so their charges are equal and equal to 
q_1=q_2=q=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C

By substituting these values, we find the intensity of the force between the two electrons:
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2})  \frac{(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)}{(3.00 \cdot 10^{-6} m)^2}=2.6 \cdot 10^{-17}N

This is the magnitude of the force each electron exerts to the other one. The direction is given by the sign of the charges: since the two electrons have same charge, they repel each other, so the force exerted by electron 1 is toward electron 2 and viceversa.
