The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle

Physics
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

A simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top
Trava [24]

Answer:

He will complete the race in total time of T = 10 s

Explanation:

Total distance moved by the sprinter in 2.14 s is given as

s = \frac{(v_{in} + v_{f})}{2} time

s = \frac{(0 + 11.2)}{2} (2.14)

s = 11.98 m

now the distance remaining to move

d = 100 - 11.98 = 88 m

now he will move with uniform maximum speed for the remaining distance

so we will have

time = \frac{d}{v}

time = \frac{88}{11.2} = 7.86 s

so the total time to complete the race is given as

T = 7.86 + 2.14 = 10 s

Calculate the constant acceleration a in g’s which the catapult of an aircraft carrier must provide to produce a launch velocity
goblinko [34]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

<span>First, I'd convert 188 mi/hr to ft/s. You should end up with about ~275.7 ft/s.
 
So now write down all the values you know:

Vfinal = 275.7 ft/s

Vinitial = 0 ft/s

distance = 299ft
</span>
<span>Now just plug in Vf, Vi and d to solve
</span>
<span>Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2 a d 

</span><span>BTW: That will give you the acceleration in ft/s^2. You can convert that to "g"s by dividing it by 32 since 1 g is 32 ft/s^2.</span>

Which of the Materials are insulators? (select all that apply)
DENIUS [597]
I believe all the insulators would be glass, wood, plastic, and yarn.

But I’m not entirely sure if mechanical pencil lead is an insulator or conductor.

Hope this helps.
