The entropy of a hot baked potato decreases as it cools. is this a violation of the increase of entropy principle? explain.

1 answer:

6 0

<span>This is not a violation of entropy principle, because this law is not violated in any way as it applies to both real an ideal situations independently. The entropy of a real system always raises and is an irreversible process.</span>

. The p.d. at the terminals of a battery is 25V when no load is connected and 24V when a load taking 10A is connected. Determine

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

p.d at the terminals of a battery at no load, E₁ = 25 V

p.d at the terminals of a battery at a load, E₂ = 24 V

current through the circuit, I = 10 A

The potential drop across the circuit, V = E₁ - E₂

= 25 V - 24 V

= 1 V

The internal resistance of the cell is calculated as follows;

r = V/I

r = 1 / 10

r = 0.1 ohm

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

a line passes through (8,-4) and has a slope 2/3. what is an equation in point slope form of the line? An equation of the line i

evablogger [386]

from the question

x₁ = x-coordinate = 8

y₁ = y-coordinate = - 4

m = slope of line = 2/3

slope form of the line is given as

(y - y₁ ) = m (x - x₁)

inserting the values

(y - (- 4) ) = (2/3) (x - 8)

(3) (y + 4) = (2) (x - 8)

multiplying each term inside the bracket by 3 and 2 respective on left and right side

3y + 12 = 2 x - 16

2 x - 3 y - 16 - 12 = 0

2 x - 3 y - 28 = 0

An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$1.9\times 10^{-4}$

$1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = $3.2\times 10^4\ N$

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

$\sigma$ = Stress = $\frac{F}{A}$

E = Young's modulus = $7\times 10^{10}\ Pa$

$\epsilon$ = Strain

$L_0$ = Original length = 67 cm

$\Delta L$ = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is $1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The cylinder height decreases by $1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward

Radda [10]

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t and Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t Solving for t:

t = 1 hour Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles
