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

Physics

Paladinen [302]3 years ago

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.

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially

Gennadij [26K]

The trains take 57.4 s to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

$v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h$

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

$v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h$

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

$t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}$

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for $v_A_B$

$t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h$

Express the time in seconds.

$t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s$

Thus, the trains cross each other in 57.4 s.

Waves transport

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample

zysi [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of an ore sample=17.5 N

Tension in the cord=11.2 N

We have to find the total volume and the density of the sample.

We know that

Tension, T= $W-F_b$
