How does the evolutionary process contradict the second law of thermodynamics?

Physics
1 answer:
dlinn [17]3 years ago
6 0

Evolution, the argument goes, is a decrease of entropy, because it involves things getting more organized over time, while the second law says that things get more disordered over time. So evolution violates the second law.

Is sound potential or kinetic energy
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Sound energy (that is, mechanical vibrational waves passing through an elastic medium) is a combination of kinetic and potential energies. As the wave compresses the medium (storing elastic potential energy) the medium comes to rest (no motion so no kinetic energy).

Explanation:

Hope this helps :D

What produces the wavy effect in air over a hot stove
AysviL [449]
<span>The reason that things look wavy in the heat over a hot grill or stove is that the air temperature is not stable. Hot air naturally rises, so as air comes off the hot surface, it rises for a bit before rapidly cooling and sinking to be heated again. This constant mixing of hot and cool air produces vibration. This vibration affects how we see the light moving through the air, making it look wavy.</span>

You have a spool of copper wire 4.82 mm in diameter and a power supply. You decide to wrap the wire tightly around a soda can th
GalinKa [24]

To solve the problem it is necessary to have the concepts of the magnetic field in a toroid.

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials.

By definition the magnetic field is given by the equation,

B=\frac{\mu_0 NI}{2\pi r}

Where,

\mu_0 = Permeability constant

N = Number of loops

I = Current

r = Radius

According to the given data we have that the length is 120mm and the thickness of the copper wire is 4.82mm.

In this way the number of turns N would be

N=\frac{120mm}{4.82mm}

N = 24.89 \approx 25 turns

On the other hand to find the internal radius, we know that:

2\pi r_i = 12cm

r_i= \frac{12}{2\pi}

r_i= 1.91cm

Therefore the total diameter of the soda would be

r= r_i+r_o = 1.91+6.5=8.51cm

Applying the concept related to magnetic field you have to for the internal part:

B_i=\frac{\mu_0 NI}{2\pi r_i}

B_i=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}) (25)(230)}{2\pi (1.91*10^{-2})}

B_i = 0.060T

The smallest magnetic field would be on the outside given by,

B_o=\frac{\mu_0 NI}{2\pi r}

B_o=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}) (25)(230)}{2\pi 8.51}

B_o = 0.0136T

<em>Therefore the maximum magnetic field is 0.06T.</em>

A thread is being pulled off a spool at the rate of 57.3 cm per sec. Find the radius of the spool if it makes 141 revolutions pe
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: r= 0.04meter

Explanation:

The velocity V and angular speed w is related to the radio by

V=w*r

r=V/w

But the standard unit for velocity is m/s so we convert 57.3cm/sec to m/s

57.3/100= 0.57m/s

Also Angular speed w is rad/secs

So we convert rev/min to rad/sec

0.1rad/sec equals 1 rev/mins

141rev/mins * 0.1rad/secs

=14.1rad/sec

r = V/w

= 0.573/14.1

= 0.04m to 2d.p
