Entropy is the scientific concept of disorder and randomness that has many broad applications across different branches of physics. While it is not a law itself, it is central to understanding the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as objects that are in thermodynamic equilibrium are at their highest state of entropy.

What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
When water becomes ice the entropy decreases does this contradict the second law?
No, because the entropy of the surroundings must increase more than the decrease in the water->ice transition, thus the net change in the entropy of the universe is positive, consistent with the second law.
What law states that entropy tends to increase over time?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
What is another name for the second law of motion?
entropy F=ma
What is true about entropy?
Entropy is not change. Entropy is disorder.
Is entropy closely related to the 1st law of thermodynamics?
It is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics
What does the second law of thermodynamic say about entropy?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
The tendency of nature to go toward a state of disorder is called?
It is called entropy, the second law of thermodynamics.Horse Isle Answer: entropy
Which law is entropy closely related to?
2nd law of thermodynamics
Which thermodynamic law has to do with entropy?
The second law of thermodynamics, generally stated, is that the entropy of an isolated system always increases in any natural process where change occurs. In a system at equilibrium, of course, the entropy remains constant.
Is the tendency of a system to become more disordered?
Assuming this is a chemistry question... The entropy of the system increases, as entropy is considered a measure of randomness of a chemical system. The universe favors entropy increases.
What is the law of entropy as it relates to business?
The law of entropy states that there are limited resources available and that as they are used/consumed, their beneficial features are dispersed and are not available to the same degree as they were originally
What statement best describes the second law of thermodynamics?
The entropy of the universe is increasing
When water becomes ice the entropy decreases does this contradict the second law?
No, because the entropy of the surroundings must increase more than the decrease in the water->ice transition, thus the net change in the entropy of the universe is positive, consistent with the second law.
What law states that entropy tends to increase over time?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Can you decrease the entropy if yes then how and if not then why?
You cannot reduce entropy because entropy increases (Second Law of Thermodynamics), if you could, we could have perpetual motion. When work is achieved energy is lost to heat. The only way to decrease the entropy of a system is to increase the entropy of another system.
What does the law of entropy tell?
the potential energy of the universe is decresing
