Which of the following statements best describes the second law of
thermodynamics?
A. Heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold, and entropy
decreases.
B. Heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold, and entropy increases.
C. Heat flows spontaneously from cold to hot, and entropy increases.
D. Heat flows spontaneously from cold to hot, and entropy
decreases.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Heat flows from hot to cold to lower the temperature of hot areas and increase temperature of cold areas. The end result is that the 2 areas have the same temperature, thus increasing entropy.

Answer 2

Heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold, and entropy increases.

The second law of thermodynamics relates to the entropy of a system. According to the second law of thermodynamics, the total entropy of a system may increase or remain constant in a spontaneous process.

The implication of this is that the entropy of a system never decreases. The entropy of a system increases when heat flows from a hot to a cold body and not vice versa.

Hence, the statement that; "Heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold, and entropy increases" describes the second law of thermodynamics.

Charge q is 1 unit of distance away from the source charge S. Charge p is two times further away. The force exerted
between S and q ls the force exerted between S and p.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer will be "1/16".

Explanation:

The force or distance between two substances in charge seems to be inversely proportional to the square of the size of the particles.  

The exerted force between "S" and "q" will be:

⇒  [tex]Fsq=\frac{{Q}'}{Q} 1^2[/tex] ...(equation 1)

The exerted force between "S" and "p" will be:

⇒  [tex]Fsp=\frac{{Q}'}{Q} 4^2[/tex] ...(equation 2)

Now,

On the comparison of "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

1. A guitar string vibrates with a frequency of 100 Hz and it has a wavelength of 3 cm. Determine the speed of the wave that goes through that guitar string.

2. The speed of sound waves in air is around 340 m/s. Suppose that you hear a dog growl, and the frequency of the growl is 70 Hz. Determine the wavelength of the growl sound waves.

3. You are in a boat on the ocean. Some waves come by and you feel your boat move up and down. You whip out a stopwatch and find that you go up-and-down once every 5 seconds. So, the period of the wave is 5 s. You are watching the waves as you go up-and-down, and you see that the wave crests are 15 meters apart. So, the wavelength is 15 m. Use this information to calculate the speed of the waves.

4. Explain why these two waves have the same speed, even though some of their wave properties are different.
Wave A has a frequency of 3 Hz and a wavelength of 5 m
Wave B has a frequency of 6 Hz and a wavelength of 2.5 m

Light ray A moves from air to water. Part of ray A is reflected at the air-water boundary. Which arrow in the image is the reflected ray?
E
OA. B
OB.
С
OC.
D
OD. E

Answers

Answer:

A. B

Explanation:

The image has been attached.

Reflected ray refers to the ray of light which is reflected back after striking a surface that is non-permeable.

The ray of light which is reflected before the ray touches the surface is said to the incident ray.

According to the given image, ray B is the reflected ray. Ray B is reflected in the air after the ray A strikes at the surface of the water.

B

Explanation:

Since mirrors reflect things, when you shine light at a mirror, it will bounce off of the mirror, or reflect, and shine the opposite direction of where the original light is pointed. The answer would be B because light doesn't go through the mirror, or run along it.

Think of when you through a basketball on the ground. If you bounce it at an angle, it won't just come back to you in the same angle. It will keep bouncing at the same angle you through it. This is pretty much what describes the relationship between ray A and ray B.

Answers

Answer: B

White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.

Explanation:

Light is reflected off of white surfaces. Light is absorbed by opaque materials and transmitted through transparent objects. 

In the case of a white paper, a white paper can be considered as a translucent material in which some of the light incident on it bounces off while some pass through it. Therefore, we can conclude that White paper reflects some of the incoming waves,

while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.

Describe the relationship between frequency and wavelength

Answers

Answer:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship because if one thing goes up another goes down. For example, if frequency goes up, the wavelength goes down and vice versa.

Answer:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is that the frequency of a wave multiplied by its wavelength gives the speed of the wave.

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength are related terms also, used to describe electromagnetic radiation or light. One simple equation is used to convert between them: frequency x wavelength = speed of light. λ v = c, when λ is wavelength, v is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

What is a good analogy for potential energy in a circuit?

Answers

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation: The potential energy in a circuit between two points is the workdone in taking units positive charge from one point to the other in the circuit. Its S.I unit is Joule.

Because voltage of a battery or cell in a circuit is the potential energy difference across its terminal

The potential energy difference between two points is one volt, if the workdone in taking one Coulomb of positive charge from one point to the other is one Joule.

hi:) is question 6 correct?

Answers

-- When you see the words "uniform speed", that means the car's speed is not changing.  

-- Right under those words in the picture, there's a note to remind you that "uniform speed" also means "acceleration is zero".

-- The whole key to this question is to find out if you remember that acceleration and net force always go together.  

.==> If there's net force, then there's acceleration.

.==> If there's acceleration, then there's net force.  

.==> If there's NO net force then there's NO acceleration.

.==> If there's no acceleration, then there's no net force.

-- In this picture, there's no acceleration, so there's no net force.

-- The driving force on the car is 2000N forward.

-- But the car's speed is not changing, so the net force on the car must be zero.

-- So that 'resisting' force pulling the car backwards must be 2000N. Then the net force on the car adds up to zero.

-- If the resisting force pulling the car backwards is not zero, then the net force on the car would not be zero, and the car's speed would be changing.

The temp of equal masses of three different liquids A,BandC are 12°C,19°Cand 28°Crespectively . The temp when A and B are mixed is 16°C, and when Band C are mixed is 23°C.The temp when A and C are mixed is

Answers

Answer:

19.1°C

Explanation:

If A and B mix to give 16°C, A has risen by 4°C and B has fallen by 3°C;

If B and C mix to give 23°C, B has risen by 3°C and C has fallen by 5°C;

This means the energy transfered to cause a change of 3°C in B causes a change of 4°C in A and 5°C in C;

We can use this as a ratio (4:5);

The temperature difference between A and C is 16°C;

we add the two parts of the ratio (4+5) to get 9 and divide the temperature difference to get 16/9;

Next we multiply this by one of the parts of the ratio, so with 4, you get 64/9;

This number is the proportional temperature change in A upon mixing;

We then add this to the original temperature of A to get the resultant temperature of the mix like so:

64/9 + 12 = 19.1111...

You can do this alternatively using the other part of the ratio;

We would multiply the 16/9 by the 5 instead of the 4 to get 80/9;

This number is the proportional change in temperature in C upon mixing

Then subtract this from this from the original temperature of C and you should get the same answer:

28 - 80/9 = 19.1111...

:What will be the value of the refractive index of the medium? Critical angle of that medium is 30 degree
a) 2
b) 1.5
c) 1.8
d) 1

Answers

Answer:

Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)

The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)

(a) n₂ = 2

Explanation:

Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.

Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.

Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:

[tex]\theta_{critical}= sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1}{n_2})[/tex]

[tex]sin \theta_{critical}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}[/tex]

To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)

Also θ(critical)=30°

Find n₂ :

[tex]sin30= \frac{1}{n_2}\\0.5=\frac{1}{n_2}\\n_2=\frac{1}{0.5}\\n_2=2[/tex]

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can determine that the helicopter and car are traveling ____.

Select one:

a. in the same direction

b. in different directions

c. at the same speed

d. at the same velocity

Answers

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

C. At the same speed
