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:
Fnet = 0
Explanation:
- Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
- According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
- This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:
- In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:
⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)
- This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
- Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)
