Answer:

- Its entropy increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as a 'measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work.' It is also employed to denote randomness, disorder, or uncertainty of the arrangement/system. In the given system, the melting of ice denotes the 'increase in entropy' as the amount of energy unavailable to do work increases('absorbs 3.33 x 10³J of energy'). Thus, <u>this signifies that the entropy increases with a rise in temperature as it allows the substance to have greater kinetic energy</u>.

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

  • Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.
  • Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.
  • The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.
  • As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.
  • When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.

Name 2 different "limiting Factors" that limit the size of a population in a given ecosystem.
Scrat [10]

Answer:    food, water, habitat, and mate.

Explanation:      The common limiting factors in an ecosystem are food, water, habitat, and mate. The availability of these factors will affect the carrying capacity of an environment. As population increases, food demand increases as well

What is the speed of the animal from 0-20s? <br><br> 50 m/s<br> 0.4 m/s<br> 20 m/s<br> 2.5 m/s
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.

In the time interval 0-20 s, we have

d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m

t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{50 m}{20 s}=2.5 m/s

You have a motion security light by your door cat runs across the in the light turns on what is the input of the system and what
Neporo4naja [7]
A motion security line is a system that is used to detect motion.
The input for the system is MOTION and the output is LIGHT. That is, when the system detects motion it switch on light.
Remember, an Input is the information that was inserted into a system while the output is the result of the processed information.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
