Answer: 5) The second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

According to the <u>second principle of thermodynamics:</u>  

<em>"The amount of entropy in the universe tends to increase over time"</em>

So, in this context, entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.  

In other words: <u>Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system</u> and is a function of state.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In 2019 was taken the first image of a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope, which is a network of radio telescope located in different points of the Earth, with the purpose of making a telescope of the size of the Earth.

A radio telescope is an antenna that is capable to perceive the light in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum¹.

It is important to notice that in the picture what it can be seen is the effect that the black hole has in the nearby stars.

Key terms:

¹Electromagnetic spectrum: decomposition of light in its different wavelengths (from radio waves to gamma rays).

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy.
statuscvo [17]
Internal energy of the system changes by ΔE = 178 J.
Heat given to the system = Q = +658 J.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, 
ΔE = Q + W
178 = 658 + W 
∴ W = 178-658 = -480 J

Minus sign indicates that work is done by the system.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s
