When collagen binds to bone, the entropy of the system increases. Why does the entropy not decrease, since it seems more logical that the entropy decreases since it seems to become more ordered?

So I heard someone say that the cube root of 31 is a good approximation for ∏. This led me to thinking about higher roots and approximations. ψ denotes the nearest whole number \pi^{2} \approx 9.86960440109 ψ=10 \sqrt[2]{10}=3.16227766017 \pi^{3} \approx 31.00627668029 ψ=31...

I understand that the force vector will always be orthogonal, but there are 2 directions it can choose. For example, if qv is in the positive x direction, along the x axis, and b is in the positive y direction, along the y axis, the force vector can exist in either the positive OR negative z...

Ok, so. The formula is F=qv x B, meaning that the force vector is an orthogonal vector equal to the cross product of vectors qv and B. There are, however, 2 orthogonal vectors, in each direction. The thing I am having trouble understanding is why is one direction chosen over the other. I...
