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".

Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 0.750 m3>s. (a) How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4

kati45 [8]

Answer:

velocity = 472 m/s

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Explanation:

given data

steady rate = 0.750 m³/s

diameter = 4.50 cm

solution

we use here flow rate formula that is

flow rate = Area × velocity .............1

0.750 = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × (4.50× $10^{-2}$ )² × velocity

solve it we get

velocity = 472 m/s

and

when it 3 time diameter

put valuer in equation 1

0.750 = $\frac{\pi }{4}$ × 3 × (4.50× $10^{-2}$ )² × velocity

velocity = 52.4 m/s

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?
