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.

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=I_{1}+I_{2}

I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2

I=117.45\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

At higher speeds, how would you compensate for the decrease in field of vision
inysia [295]
When you ride a vehicle in a fast speed, then your peripheral vision will reduce that is why there is a need for you to follow the direction of the objects when you are travelling in order for you to compensate to the decrease in the field of vision.

A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

     v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

 

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

         ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

         v₂ = \sqrt {2g \ y_1}

let's calculate

         v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

         v₂ = 70 m / s

How much work does it take to move a 50 μC charge<br> against a 12 V potential difference?
lukranit [14]
<span>work =V*Q =12*50*10^-6

The total work done will be equal to 

work = V.Q

which means 

w= 12 . 50.10^-6
Hence,
w= 0.0006 J</span>

What is required for force to come into play​
White raven [17]

Answer:

An interaction of one object with another object results in a force between the two objects. Thus, at-least two objects must interact for a force to come into play.
