From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates
the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of
size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased
by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.
The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *
1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.
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.
A. through a relatively short distance.
The speed is actually called the drift speed of the electron.
