Question

27. A violation of the second law of thermodynamics would occur if a. a ball lying on the ground started to bounce. b. transfer of energy by heat moved energy from an object at low temperature to an object at a higher temperature. c. a refrigerator heated the air in the room in which the refrigerator is located. d. any of the above occurred. e. (a) or (b) occurred, but not (c).

Answer 1

Answer:

( a ) or ( b) occurred but not ( c )   ( E )

Explanation:

A violation of the second law of thermodynamics would occur if a ball lying on the ground started to bounce because a ball at rest ( isolated ) system cannot have a change in position on its own over time,

Another Violation of the second law is: the transfer of energy by heat moved energy from an object at low temperature to an object at a higher temperature on its own . this is because transfer of heat energy can only occur from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature unless the object is been worked on  externally
