Question

A large parking lot contains 50 identical cars. Which is a higher entropy situation? 1. When the cars are forced to park between the lines in designated spaces 2. When the cars are allowed to park anywhere 3. Either 4. Unable to determine

Answer 1

Answer: When the cars are allowed to park anywhere

Explanation: What is Entropy? This is a situation of disorderliness. An entropy can be high or low. An entropy is high when an area or a place is in  chaos. while a low entropy is a state of orderliness.

The parking lot that contains 50 cars will have a higher entropy when the place in chaos or dis orderly that means when cars are parked anywhere in the park without a sense of orderliness while the entropy will be low if the cars are packed in an orderly manner.
