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

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.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F2.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F3.

-- add up the 3 horizontal components; their sum is the horizontal component of the resultant.

-- add up the 3 vertical components; their sum is the vertical component of the resultant.

-- the magnitude of the resultant is the square root of (vertical component^2 + horizontal component^2)

-- the direction of the resultant is the angle whose tangent is (vertical component/horizontal component), starting from the positive x-direction.

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?

Korvikt [17]

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}$

Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
Time travelled = 45s

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}$

Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

$\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \red{ \bf{Now, \: What \: to \: do?}}}}}$

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

v = u + at
s = ut + 1/2 at²
v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.

$\large{ \bf{ \underline{ \underline{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}$

We are provided with,

u = 250 m/s
a = -3 m/s²
t = 45 s

By using 1st equation of motion,

⇛ v = u + at

⇛ v = 250 + (-3)45

⇛ v = 250 - 135 m/s

⇛ v = 115 m/s

✤ Final velocity of mobile = 115 m/s

A motorbike reaches a speed of 20 m/s over 60m, whilst

Fynjy0 [20]

Initial speed = 2√10 m/s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Linear motion consists of 2: constant velocity motion with constant velocity and uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration

An equation of uniformly accelerated motion

V = vo + at

Vt² = vo² + 2a (x-xo)

x = distance on t

vo / vi = initial speed

vt / vf = speed on t / final speed

a = acceleration

vf=20 m/s

d = 60 m

a = 3 m/s²

$\tt vf^2=vi^2+2.ad\\\\20^2=vi^2+2\times 3\times 60\\\\400=vi^2+360\\\\40=vi^2\\\\vi=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}~m/s$
