Which statement most accurately describes the second law of thermodynamics?

Physics
1 answer:
balandron [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy

Explanation:

Second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy or the randomness of the system remains constant over time.  It also states that the net entropy will remain the same or it will increase.

Entropy of a system is given by heat absorbed divided by temperature. It is given by :

\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{T}

So, the correct option is (A) "Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy".

g You drop a 3.6-kg ball from a height of 3.5 m above one end of a uniform bar that pivots at its center. The bar has mass 9.9 k
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

h = 3.5 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the final speed of the ball when it collides with a seesaw. Using the third equation of motion:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 3.5 m

vf = final speed = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)(3.5\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\v_f = \sqrt{68.67\ m^2/s^2}\\v_f = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of colliding ball = 3.6 kg

m₂ = mass of ball on the other end = 3.6 kg

v₁ = vf = final velocity of ball while collision = 8.3 m/s

v₂ = vi = initial velocity of other end ball = ?

Therefore,

(3.6\ kg)(8.3\ m/s)=(3.6\ kg)(v_i)\\v_i = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we again use the third equation of motion for the upward motion of the ball:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative for upward motion)

h = height = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 8.3 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(8.3\ m/s)^2\\

<u>h = 3.5 m</u>

Pepsi [2]

19.2\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

At the top of the tree, the velocity of the pebble is purely horizontal so we can calculate it as

v_{y} = v_{0y} = v_0\cos 40° = (25\:\text{m/s})(0.766)

\:\:\:\:\:= 19.2\:\text{m/s}
