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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

A small asteroid with a mass of 1500 kg moves near the earth. At a particular instant the asteroid’s velocity is ⟨3.5 × 104, −1.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

P_{f} =(5.7 x 10^{7 i - 2.24 x 10^{7 j) kgm/s

Explanation:

Due to earths gravity, force on asteroid is given by:

F= \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2} } r^

Plugging in the values, we have

F= [(6.67x10^{-11})(1500)(5.97 x 10^{24})(8x10^{6}i + 9x10^{6 j)] / ((8x10^{6})² + (9x10^{6 )²)^{1.5}

F= 2736 i^ + 3078 j^

In order find the final momentum of the Asteroid, apply impulse momentum theorem

P_{f} = P_{i + FΔt

P_{f} = 1500(3.5 x 10^{4 i - 1.8x10^{4 j) + (2736i + 3078j)(1.5x10^{3)

P_{f} =(5.7 x 10^{7  i- 2.24 x 10^{7 j)kgm/s

Identify the forces acting on the object of interest. From the list below, select the forces that act on the piano.
bekas [8.4K]

The correct answer is the following.

The forces that act on the piano are: 2) gravitational force acting on the piano (piano's weight). 5) force of the floor on the piano (normal force). 7) force of Chadwick on the piano.

As we see in the picture that I have attached is Chadwick pushing the piano in a horizontal plane. So Chadwick is applying a force that produces an acceleration. It is his force on the piano plus the acceleration of the weight of the piano, it's a gravitational force. This is pure physics applied to an object.

this stationary wave is what we call the first harmonic of the first normal mode of the system. in units of l, the length of the
Dafna1 [17]

The wavelength of the first harmonic of the standing wave is 2L.

<h3>What is a standing wave?</h3>

A standing wave is one in which the obvious points remain fixed as the vibration continues. A standing wave occurs in a wind instrument such as a trumpet, saxophone etc.

We know from  the formula of the first harmonic that the wavelength of the first harmonic of the standing wave is 2L.

What is one of the reasons why scientists believe the outer core is liquid?
drek231 [11]
<span>Scientists have obtained most of this information from natural geological activity.
</span>S-waves and p-waves are seismic waves- the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake .Both P- and S-waves travel easily through solids, but S-waves cannot pass through liquids, and they cannot pass through the outer core. Scientists know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it.<span> When an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. 
</span>So, one of the reasons <span>why scientists believe the outer core is liquid is the s-wave shadow zone.</span>
