Entropy, in thermodynamics, is a measure of the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a system. It has units of energy per temperature. So, we calculate it by dividing the total heat in the system by the temperature. We do as follows:
Entropy = 437 J / 321 K = 1.36 J/K
The correct answer is: Option (3) 9.8 N/kg
Explanation:
According to Newton's Law of Gravitation:
--- (1)
Where G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²
m = Mass of the body = 2 kg
M = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg
R = Distance of the object from the center of the Earth = Radius of the Earth + Object's distance from the surface of the Earth = (6371 * 10³) + 3.0 = 6371003 m
Plug in the values in (1):
(1)=>
Now that we have force strength at the location, we can use:
Force = mass * gravitational-field-strength
Plug in the values:
19.63 = 2.0 * gravitational-field-strength
gravitational-field-strength = 19.63/2 = 9.82 N/kg
Hence the correct answer is Option (3) 9.8 N/kg
Answer:
D). Field lines circle the Earth from east to west.
Explanation:
A microscopic force or gigantic magnetic field surrounds the Earth which functions as a force field that guards the planet against the radiations released from space. This magnetic field is characterized by the alignment of the North and South poles with the axis of rotation. Thus, the magnetic field lines of the Earth surround or circle of the Earth from East to West. Therefore, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

This is true</span>
Answer:
20 J
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that (if we neglect air resistance) the mechanical energy of an object in free fall is conserved:
where
E is the mechanical energy, which is the sum of
U = potential energy
K = kinetic energy
When the ball is held 10 meters above the ground, its gravitational potential enegy is U = 20 J, while its kinetic energy is K = 0 (because the ball is at rest). Therefore, its mechanical energy is
E = U + K = 20 J + 0 = 20 J
Just before hitting the ground, its potential energy is zero (because its height is now zero), and since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we still have that E = 20 J. So, we can find the kinetic energy just before hitting the ground:
