Answer:

The velocity & acceleration will be taken as negative when a ball is thrown upward because work is done against the gravity.

Which is a correct statement of the second law of thermodynamics? Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing. Nature allow
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing.

Explanation:

Entropy is the loss of available energy when it is in transit. The entropy of a system increases consuming the energy, this energy is now unavailable for doing the work or making the corresponding changes in the property of a system.

Entropy is the measure of randomness of a system. It is a toll that the nature takes for energy in transit.

The second law of thermodynamics concludes that all the energy cannot be transformed from one form to another and the flow of energy has a specific direction.

If a reversible process occurs, there is no net change in entropy. In an irreversible process, entropy always increases, so the change in entropy is positive. The total entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

An electric circuit can have no current when a switch is
Finger [1]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.
