Answer:
B: False
Explanation:
The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.
Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.
Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.
In a real system of levers, wheel or pulleys, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) is less than the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) because of the presence of friction.
In fact, the IMA and the AMA of a machine are defined as the ratio between the output force (the load) and the input force (the effort):

however, the difference is that the IMA does not take into account the presence of frictions, while the AMA does. As a result, the output force in the AMA is less than the output force in the IMA (because some energy is dissipated due to friction), and the AMA is less than the IMA.
Answer:
a) v = 88.54 m/s
b) vf = 26.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that;
m = 1400.0 kg
a)
by using the energy conservation
loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy
mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²
so
1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²
5488000 = 700v²
v² = 5488000 / 700
v² = 7840
v = √7840
v = 88.54 m/s
b)
Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE
W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)
we substitute
1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf² -0 )
488000 = 700 vf²
vf² = 488000 / 700
vf² = 697.1428
vf = √697.1428
vf = 26.4 m/s
Answer:
a) Y component of the vector =15.54 m
b) Vector magnitude = 21.6 m
Explanation:
The given vector makes 44 degree angle with Y axis, as given. This is same as 90 -44 = 46 degrees with the horizontal or X axis.
b) X component of the given vector =
= A cos 46 =15
⇒ A = 15/cos 16 = 21.6 m = Total vector magnitude.
a) Y component of the vector = 21.6 sin 46 = 15.54 m
b) A = 21.6 m
