In a system, when potential energy decreases, then entropy also decreases. True False

Physics

Paladinen [302]3 years ago

8 0

Answer: False

Explanation:

The potential energy is called organized energy because it is not related to the mass movement of the molecules.

Heat is disorganized energy because it is related to the mass movement of the molecules. Entropy is related to the randomness of the molecules.

If the randomness of the system increases then the entropy will increase. The entropy of the system either remains constant or increases.

The entropy of the system never decreases.

Therefore, the answer will be false.

Which particle is most likely to interact with your hand? Select one: a. Alpha particle b. Beta particle c. Gamma particle d. Ne

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct option is a

Explanation:

The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).

From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.

The speed of a certain electron is 995 km s−1 . If the uncertainty in its momentum is to be reduced to 0.0010 per cent, what unc

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is $1.163 * 10^{-5} m$

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ $_{y}$ Δ $_{p}$ $= \frac{h}{2\pi }$

The momentum P $_{y}$ = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

= $(9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)$

= $9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s$

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

= $9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s$

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

Δ $_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }$

Δ $_{y} \geq 1.163 * 10^{-5}m$

Question :

irakobra [83]

A rubber ball and a stone of the same size are examples which will have more inertia and is therefore denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Inertia?</h3>

This is referred to as the property exhibited by a body in which it has the tendency to remain at rest or in uniform motion.This property is dependent on the mass of the substance as we can deduce that the greater the mass, the greater the inertia and vice versa.

The size of a rubber ball and stone will have different masses in which that of the stone will be greater. This is as a result of the difference in the nature of the substances which are used to make both items mentioned above.

This is therefore the reason why a rubber ball and a stone of the same size as having more inertia(mass) where chosen as the most appropriate choice in this scenario.
