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.
Explanation:
since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.
We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.
range can be calculated by the formula :-

u is the velocity during its take off and
is the angle at which its thrown
Given that
- u = 8m/ s
= 40°
calculating range using the above formula


value of sin 80 = 0. 985



Hence,

Answer:
It is possible to statically charge objects by rubbing it against carpet fibers, but I'm not sure if that was in the article that you read.
Explanation:
Static charge can build up via carpet fibers.
