Physics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of of the degree of  randomness or disorderliness in a system.

The second law of thermodynamics can be stated as follows; "in any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases."  

The universe here refers to the system's disorder and the disorder of the surroundings.  Therefore, a spontaneous process can occur, in which the entropy of the system decreases, only if the entropy increases in the surroundings.

For instance, when ice freezes, the entropy of liquid water decreases, that is, the entropy of the system decreases. However, heat is given off to the surroundings and the entropy of the surroundings increases. This is an obvious expression of this law.

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this
Paladinen [302]
1 m = 1 000 000 ym

converted other way we can say that:

1 ym = 10^{-6} m

Now, since we have ym^2 which is ym*ym which means:
1 ym^2 = (10^{-6}) ^2  =  10^{-12} m

we have 1,5 ym^2 which means that answer is:
1.5* 10^{-12} m

What is the surface temperature of Sirius B in Kelvins?
Sauron [17]

Answer: The surface temperature of Sirius B is 25,200 Kelvins(K).

Explanation: You would think Sirius would have a surface temperature of 9,940 Fahrenheit. That is somewhat correct, but Sirius is a binary star consisting of a main-sequence star of spectral type A0 or A1, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed Sirius B. Sirius, Sirius A, and Sirius B, are all different stars. Sirius A has a temperature of 9,940 Kelvins, but Sirius B has a temperature of 25,200 Kelvins(K).
