Answer:
a. Ssystem > 40 J/K
Explanation:
Given that
The entropy of first block = 10 J/K
The entropy of second block = 30 J/K
When two bodies come into contact with each other, the entropy of the combined system will increase and the entropy sum remains unchanged: According to the Second law of thermodynamics.The entropy of the system will be greater than 40 J/K.
Therefore the answer is a.
Ssystem > 40 J/K
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.
Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .
Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:
Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...
11.2 cm = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
0.112 meter = (4.9 m/s²) (time)²
Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²
(0.112 / 4.9) sec² = time²
Square root
each side: time = √(0.112/4.9 sec²)
= √ 0.5488 sec²
= 0.74 second (rounded)
B) gravitational to kinetic
Explanation:
The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:

where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by

so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is
B) gravitational to kinetic
B south because north polarities line up with the opposite polarities
