The entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature decreases B. Energy cannot be created or destroyed C. The entropy of an isolated system only increases D. If two systems are in equilibrium with a third, they are in equilibrium with each other

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3

The pilot of a helicopter hovers at an altitude of 1200 feet over a park. the angle of depression to the base of a statue is 17 degrees. the angle of depression to the nearest park exit, in line with the statue, is 14 degrees. to the nearest foot, what is the distance from the statue to the exit?

You are the coordinator for a program that is going to take place at night in a rectangular amphitheater in the mountains. you will have no access to any electricity, but you must be able to illuminate the entire grounds. you know the intensity of the light from a lantern varies inversely as the square of the distance from the lantern. suppose the intensity is 90 when the distance is 5 m. a. write an equation to model the situation. b. solve for the constant of variation. c. write the equation to model the situation using the constant () of variation. d. you have been given lanterns with 40 light intensity. use your equation to solve for the distance from the lantern. e. you need to illuminate 225 km. how many meters do you need to light? f. how many lanterns will you need?
