Answer:

The increase in thermal energy results in an increase in pressure.

Explanation:

The increase in entropy is directly related to the increase in temperature. So the thermal energy in heat engine increases the temperature of that surrounding.
Higher temperature means the kinetic energy of particles is also higher, their vibration is increasing. So it increases the pressure (ideal gas law).
In this way the increment in the thermal energy in heat engine moves piston by increasing the pressure.

The band gab of semi conductor?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Properties of semiconductors are determined by the energy gap between valence and conduction bands. To understand, what is semiconductor, we have to define these terms. In solid-state physics, the energy gap or the band gap is an energy range between valence band and conduction band where electron states are forbidden.

According to newtos first law of motion. what is required to make a object slow down.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that slows down moving objects. If you roll a ball across a shaggy rug, you can see that there are lumps and bumps in the rug that make the ball slow down. The rubbing, or friction, between the ball and the rug is what makes the ball stop rolling. External Force is required.

What is the kinetic energy of a soccer ball which has a mass of 0.8 kg and is kicked at a velocity of 10 m/s

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy= K.E = (1/2) × mv²

K.E = 0.5× 0.8kg× 100m²/s² = 40 N

One hundred turns of insulated copper wire are wrapped into a circular coil of crosssectional area 1.20⇥103 m2. The two ends of

arsen [322]

Answer:

236.3 x $10^-^3$ C

Explanation:

Given:

B(0)=1.60T and B(t)=-1.60T

No. of turns 'N' =100

cross-sectional area 'A'= 1.2 x $10^-^3$ m²

Resistance 'R'= 1.3Ω

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf is given by,

ℰ=-NdΦ/dt

The current given by resistance and induced emf as

I = ℰ/R

I= -NdΦ/dtR

By converting the current to differential form(the time derivative of charge), we get

$\frac{dq}{dt}$ = -NdΦ/dtR

dq= -N dΦ/R

The change in the flux dФ =Ф(t)-Ф(0)

therefore, dq = $\frac{N}{R}$ (Ф(0)-Ф(t))

Also, flux is equal to the magnetic field multiplied with the area of the coil

dq = NA(B(0)-B(t))/R

dq= (100)(1.2 x $10^-^3$ )(1.6+1.6)/1.3

dq= 236.3 x $10^-^3$ C
