What is Entropy? And what does It do?​

Physics
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago

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).

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated. a) Contraction b) Expansion c) kinetic energy d) Volume
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

Un autocar que circula a 81 km/h frena uniformemente con una aceleración de -4,5 m/s2.
horsena [70]

Answer:

a) \Delta x=56.25 m

b) imagen adjunta

Explanation:

a) Primero debemos hacer la conversión de 81 km/h a m/s, esto es 22.5 m/s.

Ahora, usando la ecuacion cinemática, en un movimiento acelerado tenemos:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2a \Delta x

Queremos encontrar la posición hasta detenerse, osea vf = 0.

\Delta x=\frac{-v_{0}^{2}}{2a}

\Delta x=\frac{-22.5^{2}}{-2*4.5}

\Delta x=56.25 m

b) Para este caso el gráfico se encuentra adjunto.                                      

Espero que te sirva de ayuda!

Question 11 of 11 | Page 11 of 11
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Decreases the time period of revolution

Explanation:

The time period of Cygnus X-1 orbiting a massive star is 5.6 days.

The orbital velocity of a planet is given by the formula,

                                        v = √[GM/(R + h)]

In the case of rotational motion, v = (R +h)ω

                                         ω = √[GM/(R + h)] /(R +h)

Where 'ω' is the angular velocity of the planet

The time period of rotational motion is,

                                     T = 2π/ω

By substitution,

                                      <em>T = 2π(R +h)√[(R + h)/GM] </em>

Hence, from the above equation, if the mass of the star is greater, the gravitational force between them is greater. This would reduce the time period of revolution of the planet.

An electric wall clock has a second hand 15 cm long. at the tip of his hand, what is the magnitude of the velocity?
Mila [183]

The velocity of the tip of the second hand is 0.0158 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the angular velocity of the second hand.

We know that the second hand completes one full circle in

T = 60 seconds

Therefore, its angular velocity is:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{(60)}=0.105 rad/s

Now we can calculate the velocity of a point on the tip of the hand by using the formula

v=\omega r

where

\omega=0.105 rad/s is the angular velocity

r = 15 cm = 0.15 m is the radius of the circle (the distance of the point from the centre of rotation)

Substituting,

v=(0.105)(0.15)=0.0158 m/s
