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".

How long does it take for a 3.5 kW electric water heater to heat 40 kg of water? from 20 ° C to 75 ° C? The specific heat capaci
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

2633.7 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the water heater = Heat gained by the water

Applying,

P = cm(t₂-t₁)/t.................. Equation 1

Where P = power of the heat, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: c = 4190 J/kgK, P = 3.5 kW = 3500 W, m = 40 kg, t₁ = 20°C, t₂ = 75°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = 4190×40(75-20)/3500

t = 9218000/3500

t = 2633.7 s

Consider five atoms from the second period : lithium , beryllium , boron , carbon , and nitrogen , which of these elements has t
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Lithium has the lowest electronegativity.

Explanation:

Electronegativity measures the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons. As we move left to right in a period, the number of shell remains same but the number of electron increases(negative charge increases. Hence, electronegativity also increases.

As Lithium is the left most element in this period. It has the lowest electronegativity value which is equal to 0.98.

An object is projected horizontally at 18.4 m/s from the top of a 162.7 meter cliff.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  106.03 meters  

Explanation:

The height is given by the formula for motion under the influence of gravity.

  h = -4.9t^2 +162.7

Height is 0 when ...

  0 = -4.9t^2 +162.7

  4.9t^2 = 162.7

  t^2 = 162.7/4.9

  t = √(162.7/4.9)

The horizontal distance traveled in that time is ...

  (18.4 m/s)√(162.7/4.9) s ≈ 106.03 m

The object will strike the ground about 106.03 meters from the base of the cliff.
