What is Entropy? And what does It do?​

Physics
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Entropy by the modern definition is the amount of energy dispersal in a system. Therefore, the system entropy will increase when the amount of motion within the system increases. For example, the entropy increases when ice (solid) melts to give water (liquid). It will even increase more when water is evaporated to steam (gas).

house current is 120 volts. if a light bulb runs a current of 0.5 amps, what is the resistance of the bulb
Sauron [17]
Ohm's Law tells the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
It can be written in three different ways, depending on which ones you know,
and which one you want to find.

Here's the one we need:       

                           Resistance  =  (voltage) divided by (current)

                                               =  (120 V)  /  (0.5 Amp)

                                               =          240 ohms .

g An electron enters a region of space containing a uniform 1.63 × 10 − 5 T magnetic field. Its speed is 121 m/s and it enters p
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

i. The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × 10^{-5} m.

ii. The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.

Explanation:

The radius 'r' of the electron's path is called a gyroradius. Gyroradius is the radius of the circular motion of a charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.

                 r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where: B is the strength magnetic field, q is the charge, v is its velocity and m is the mass of the particle.

From the question, B = 1.63 × 10^{-5}T, v = 121 m/s, Θ = 90^{0} (since it enters perpendicularly to the field), q = e  = 1.6 × 10^{-19}C and m = 9.11 × 10^{-31}Kg.

Thus,

         r = \frac{mv}{qB} ÷ sinΘ

But,  sinΘ =  sin 90^{0} = 1.

So that;

          r = \frac{mv}{qB}

            = (9.11 × 10^{-31} × 121) ÷ (1.6 × 10^{-19}  × 1.63 × 10^{-5})

            = 1.10231 × 10^{-28}   ÷ 2.608 × 10^{-24}

            = 4.2266 × 10^{-5}

            = 4.23 × 10^{-5} m

The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × 10^{-5} m.

B. The frequency 'f' of the motion is called cyclotron frequency;

           f = \frac{qB}{2\pi m}

             =  (1.6 × 10^{-19}  × 1.63 × 10^{-5}) ÷ (2 ×\frac{22}{7} × 9.11 × 10^{-31})

             =  2.608 × 10^{-24} ÷  5.7263 × 10^{-30}

             = 455442.4323

          f  = 455.44 KHz

The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.

Accelerating car is a _______
Pavel [41]

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time. For example a car traveling at 50 km/hr starts to accelerate, 10 seconds after, its speed changes to 100 km/hr then the acceleration of the car during the time can be calculated as below: initial speed = 50 km/hr.

26. An ice-skater who weighs 200 N is gliding across the ice. If the force of friction is 4 N. what is the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.
