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.
We use the formula, to calculate the volume of water displaced by concrete canoe,
Here, W is the weight of concrete canoe and is the specific weight of water and its value is .
So,
.
Now the volume of water occupied in ultra lightweight kevlar canoe,
Here, w is weight of kevlar canoe.
So,
Thus, the volume of water displaced,
.
Hence, the volume of water displaced canoe compared to an ultra-lightweight kevlar canoe is
A water wave is an example of a mechanical wave. A wave that can travel only through matter is called a mechanical wave.
Answer:
(a) v = 3..6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
Explanation:
from the question we have the following:
mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg
initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s
mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg
final velocity of the car (v) = ?
(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where
initial momentum = final momentum
Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V
24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v
96,000 = 27000v
v =3.6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
