To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as
Here,
Q = Total Heat
T = Temperature
The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,
From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'
Change in entropy is smaller than
Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Answer:
<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>
Explanation:
<u>Energy Transformation</u>
It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.
If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is
When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as
We have then,
Solving for h
We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand
Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg
Computing the maximum height
The maximum height is 0.10 meters
