<h2>Answer:</h2>

Friction:

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

Normal Reaction (R):

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

Coefficient of friction ( μ ):

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

Advantage and disadvantage from friction force:

The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

How to reduce friction:

Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
Using a soap solution and powder.

Which term describes the number of joules used per second by a circuit?

jasenka [17]

Answer:

B) Power

Explanation:

The power is defined by the following equation:

P = W / t

where:

W = work = Force * Distance = [Newton] * [meter]

t = time = seconds

The units for work are give en Newton per second, which is equal to Joules

And for power the unit used commonly is Watts, therefore:

Watts = (Joule/second)

The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as rho= rho0[1+α(T−T0)] , where

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

At 81. 52 Deg C its resistance will be 0.31 Ω.

Explanation:

The resistance of wire = $R_T =\frac{\rho_T \ l}{A}$

Where $R_T$ =Resistance of wire at Temperature T

$\rho_T$ = Resistivity at temperature T $=\rho_0 \ [1 \ + \alpha\ (T-T_0\ )]$

Where $T_0 =20\ Deg\ C , \ \rho_0 = Constant, \alpha =3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1 \ (Given)$

l=Length of the wire

& A = Area of cross section of wire

For long and thin wire the resistance & resistivity relation will be as follows

$\frac{R_T_1}{R_T_2}=\frac{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot(T_1-2 0 )}{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot (T_2 -20 )}$

$\frac{0.25}{0.31}=\frac{1}{[1+\alpha(T-20)]}$

$1.24=1+\alpha (T-20)$

$0.24=\alpha(\ T -20 )$

$Putting\ the\ value\ of \alpha = 3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1$

T = 81.52 Deg C

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r

Schach [20]

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= $\frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}$

$= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}$

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.
