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

Physics

1 answer:

Paladinen [302]4 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 describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed

yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity $V$ will be expressed by the following equation:

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

Where:

$d$ is the ant's total displacement

$t$ is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.
