The air in this room consists of countless tiny, independent molecules. You can be sure that these air molecules won't all shift

spontaneously to the other side of the room (leaving you in a vacuum) because that would
(A) violate Newton's laws of motion.
(B) be extremely unlikely and therefore violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
(C) violate Bernoulli's equation.
(D) not conserve energy and therefore violate the 1st law of thermodynamics.

Answer:

(B) be extremely unlikely and therefore violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

This process is highly unlikely and if happens would violet the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The laws of motion do not rule out a move to one side of the room of all the air molecules. But it would be extremely unlikely to happen that. The second law of thermodynamics states that the universe responds to circumstances that become more and more likely, not improbable.

If the center of mass passes outside the area of support of an object, what will happen to it?
defon

Answer:

If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple

Explanation:

We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.

In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration​
cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.

Suppose that instead of being inclined to Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moonâs orbit was in the same plane as Earthâs orbit
ycow [4]

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

A Solar eclipse occurs when The Sun, The Earth and The Moon comes in a straight line with the Moon being in between the Earth and the Sun. At this point the Moon appears to block the Sun and Moon's shadow falls on Earth. This would occur only on the day of the New Moon.

If the Moon's orbit was in the same plane as that of the Earth's orbit. Every new Moon, there would be a Solar Eclipse. The Lunar cycle is of 29.5 Days which means there will be one new Moon every month. So there will be 12 Solar Eclipses every year.

Currently, the orbit of the Moon is tilted at an angle of 5° thus we don't see that many Solar eclipses. Maximum of 5 solar eclipses can occur in an year.
