A car jumps off a ramp with a Kinetic energy of 5,000 joules. This same car has a gravitational potential energy of 4,685 joules at some point when it is falling to the ground, after jumping off the ramp. When the car lands on the ground, the springs of this car’s suspension compress and then come back to normal exerting an elastic potential energy of 4,968 joules. What is the car’s total mechanical energy (TME)?

The law of entropy can also be called the law of increasing disorder, but this law seems to contradict the existence of living organisms that are able to organize chemicals into organic molecules. prepare for a class debate on the validity of the following arguments: a. living things are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics. b. the increase in the universe's entropy due to life processes is greater than the decrease in entropy within a living organism.
