Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. How does this relat

e to the second law of thermodynamics?
A) Living organisms do not obey the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase with time.
B) Living organisms do not follow the laws of thermodynamics.
C) As a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.
D) Living organisms are able to transform energy into entropy.

Answer:

C: As a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.

Explanation:

Particularly, whole organisms on the earth obtain the energy from sunlight, and the sun is undertake an vast increase in entropy that simply compensates for the reducing entropy of living things on this small planet.

When a red giant completes helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a ______.
Firdavs [7]
<span>When a red giang complete helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a white dwarf. The correct option is C. White dwarf are very dense stars that are usually the size of a planet. It is a stellar core reminant which mainly made up of electron degenerated matters; its mass is comparable to that of the sun while its volume is comparable to that of the earth. </span>

A well-insulated bucket of negligible heat capacity contains 129 g of ice at 0°C.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The final equilibrium temperature of the system is T = 12.48^oC

For the ice it would melt completely the mass that would remain is Zero

Explanation:

In the following question we are provided with

Mass of the ice M_{i} = 129 g = 0.129 kg

Mass of the steam M_s = 19 g = 0.019 kg

Initial temperature is  T_i = 0°C

Temperature of  steam  T_s = 100°C

Following the change of state of water in the question

 The energy required by ice to change to water is mathematically given as

          Q_A = M_iL_f

Where L_f is a constant known as heat of fusion  and the value is 334*10^3 J/kg

           Q_A = 0.129 *334 *10^3  = 43086 J

The energy been released when the steam changes to water is mathematically given as

            Q_B = M_s * L_v

           Where L_v is a constant known as heat of vaporization and the value is 2256*10^3J/kg

           Q_B = 0.019 * 2256*10^3 = 42864J

         The energy released when the temperature of water decrease from 100°C to 0°C is

                 Q_C = M_s *C_water (100°C)

Where C_{water} is the specific heat of water which has a value 4186J/kg \cdot K

                  Q_C = 0.019 *4186*100 = 7953.4

Looking at the values we obtained we noticed that ]

             Q_B + Q_C > Q_A

What this means is that the ice will melt

bearing in mind the conservation of energy

     looking the way at which water at different temperature were mixed according to the question

     Heat lossed by the vapor   = heat gained by ice

        Q_B + M_s *C_{water}(100-T) = Q_A + M_i C_{water} T

                                               T = \frac{Q_B+M_s *C_{water}(100^oC)-Q_A}{(M_s *C_{water})+(M_i*C_{water})}

                                               T = \frac{42864+7953.4-43086}{(0.019+0.129)(4186)}

                                              T = 12.48^oC

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface and
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

F = Force exerted on spring = 3 N

k = Spring constant = 60 N/m

x = Displacement of the block

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

Fx=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2F}{k}

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2\times 3}{60}

\\\Rightarrow x=0.1\ m

The position of the block is 0.1 from the initial position.
