The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always

looking for new sources of energy? Use the 2nd law of thermodynamics to answer this question.

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident perpendicularly from air on a film 10-4cm thick and of refractive index 1.375. Part of th
Marysya12 [62]

Answer

given,

wavelength (λ)= 500 n m

thickness of film= 10⁻⁴ cm

refractive index = μ = 1.375

distance traveled is double which is equal to 2 x 10⁻⁴ cm

a) Number of wave

     N = \dfrac{d}{\mu\lambda}

     N = \dfrac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{1.375\times 500 \times 10^{-9}}

           N = 2.91

           N = 3

b) phase difference is equal to

Reflection from the first surface has a 180° (½λ) phase change.

There is no phase change for the 2nd surface reflection and there is no phase difference for the 2nd wave having traveled an exact whole number of waves.

net phase difference = 180^0\times \dfrac{3}{2}

                                   = 270°

In handball, who is the only player allowed in the goalie area?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Only the goalie is allowed inside the goal crease. The only exception when another player is allowed in the goal area is when they take off from outside the goal area, and shoots or passes the ball before landing. To avoid interference with other players, the player must then exit the goal area as soon as possible.

When looking at a food label, to be considered a good source of a nutrient, the nutrient must be? A.More than 20% of your daily
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A. More than 20% of your daily recommended amount.

Explanation:

Reading food labels can be tricky. The percent daily value listed on the right of all food labels lets you know what percent out of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient you are consuming in that specific food.

To check if the food you're consuming is a good source of that nutrient you need in higher amount, the nutrient must be labeled 20% or higher.

The rule used here is called the 5/20 rule. According to this rule, A nutrient that is 5% or below is considered less and a nutrient which is labeled 20% or higher is considered good enough in that food source.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

≈ 20.35 N [newton's of tension]

Explanation:

( (2.9 × 9.8) ÷ cos(35.6°) ) × sin (35.6°) =

( (28.42) ÷ (≈0.813) ) × (≈0.582) =

(≈34.96) × (≈0.582) = 20.3449446.... ≈ 20.35
