Answer:

Heat is removed

Explanation:

Entropy is measure of chaos or disorder. Entropy of the universe is increasing that means it is positive. Entropy is positive for irreversible process. For entropy to be negative which means for it to decrease, heat must be removed from the system. It will reduce the disorder of the system that is this process will bring order in the system and hence, the entropy would be negative.

heat is removed, because entropy is the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system

For small angles, does the pendulum's period of oscillation depend on initial angular displacement from equilibrium? Explain.

aksik [14]

Answer:

No, the pendulum's period of oscillation does not depend on initial angular displacement.

Explanation:

Given that,

For small angle, the pendulum's period of oscillation depend on initial angular displacement from equilibrium.

We know that,

The time period of pendulum is defined as

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}$

Where, l = length of pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity

So, The time period of pendulum depends on the length of pendulum and acceleration due to gravity.

It does not depend on the initial angular displacement.

Hence, No, the pendulum's period of oscillation does not depend on initial angular displacement.
