A block that slides on a rough surface slows down and eventually stops. The reverse process never occurs. That is, a block at rest never begins to move and accelerate on a rough surface without the action of an external agent. The second situation is forbidden because it would violate:_________.

a) conservation of total energy
b) conservation of momentum
c) the first law of thermodynamics
d) the second law of thermodynamics
e) both the first and second law of thermodynamics
Gracias.

Answer 1

d) the second law of thermodynamics

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we take an example

The entropy represents a measurement of the energy dispersal in the system. Also, the campfire would an entropy example. The burning of the solid wood and then it became the ash, smoke and gases this all would be spread the energy to the outward as compared to the solid fuel

Therefore as per the given statement, the correct option is d.
