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.
Answer:
a)5.88J
b)-5.88J
c)0.78m
d)0.24m
Explanation:
a) W by the block on spring is given by
W= 
kx² = (530)(0.149)² = 5.88 J
b) Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J
c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom
So, mg
= kx² - mgx
And, = ( kx² - mgx
)/(mg) = 
]/(0.645x9.8)
= 0.78m
d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3
= 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m
then, kx² - mgx - mg =0
(530)x² - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0
265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0
a=265
b=-6.321
c=-14.8
By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots
x= 0.24 or x=-0.225
Considering only positive root:
x= 0.24m (maximum compression of the spring)
The answer is the letter "C" ( I have honors science I am good at this type of stuff )
Hope I helped :) ( ask me for help when u need it :)
Density of a material depends upon it's mass & volume.
You can calculate it by: Density = Mass / Volume
Hope this helps!
Elemental hydrogen (H, element 1), nitrogen (N, element 7), oxygen (O, element 8), fluorine (F, element 9), and chlorine (Cl, element 17) are all gases at room temperature, and are found as diatomic molecules.
Titanium, Lead, Potassium, and Silicon are solids at normal temperature.
Mercury and bromine (Br) are the only liquid elements at standard pressure and temperature (Hg).
<h3>What are chemical elements?</h3>
A chemical element is a species of atoms, including the pure substance made entirely of that species, that have a specific number of protons in their nuclei. Chemical elements, in contrast to chemical compounds, cannot be reduced by any chemical process into simpler molecules.
