An energy transformation occurs and results in increased disorder.

Physics

Zinaida [17]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

Which of the following accurately describes the way in which a muscle moves?
Vaselesa [24]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B. When actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere, the fiber shortens.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The events of muscle fiber shortening occurs with in the sacromeres in the fibers. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Contraction of striated muscle fibers takes place as the sacromeres shorten as myosin heads pull on the actin filaments.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Filament movement starts at the region or zone where thin and thick filaments overlap. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Myofibril contains many sacromeres along its length and thuse myofibrils and muscle cells contract as the sacromeres contract.</u></em>

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the bat
Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

A. Technician A only.B.

Explanation: The fuel system of a vehicle is made up of the fuel pump,the fuel filter,the injector or carburettor and the fuel tank. The main function of the fuel system is supply fuel to the engine of a vehicle. In order to check for leakage in the fuel system a small pressure smoke is usually installed in the fuel system.

Nitrogen at low pressure has also been used to check for leakage in the fuel system of a vehicle.
