Answer:

a) 390J

b) 322J

c) 68J

Explanation:

We need to calculate the power given by the battery. the power is given by:

P=V*I\\I=\frac{V}{R}\\I=\frac{4}{5.9+1.2}\\I=0.56A\\P=2.24W

Watts is J/s so:

E=P*t\\E=2.24\frac{J}{s}*2.9min*(60\frac{s}{min})=390J

The thermal energy in the wire is given by:

E_w=P_w*t\\P_w=I^2*R_w=0.56^2*5.9=1.85W\\E_w=1.85\frac{J}{s}*2.9min*(60\frac{s}{min})=322J

And the the dissipated thermal energy in the battery will be the remainig energy:

E_b=E-E_w\\E_b=390-322=68J

Which is a correct statement of the second law of thermodynamics? Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing. Nature allow
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing.

Explanation:

Entropy is the loss of available energy when it is in transit. The entropy of a system increases consuming the energy, this energy is now unavailable for doing the work or making the corresponding changes in the property of a system.

Entropy is the measure of randomness of a system. It is a toll that the nature takes for energy in transit.

The second law of thermodynamics concludes that all the energy cannot be transformed from one form to another and the flow of energy has a specific direction.

If a reversible process occurs, there is no net change in entropy. In an irreversible process, entropy always increases, so the change in entropy is positive. The total entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.

A bystander observes the musicians heading toward each other. When musician #1 is 100 m away, the intensity is 1.24 x 10-8 W/m^2
777dan777 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance 1, r = 100 m

Intensity, I_1=1.24\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

If distance 2, r' = 25 m

We need to find the intensity and the intensity level at 25 meters. Intensity and a distance r is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}.........(1)

Let I' is the intensity at r'. So,

I'=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r'^2}............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

I'=\dfrac{Ir}{r'^2}

I'=\dfrac{1.24\times 10^{-8}\times 100}{25^2}

I'=1.98\times 10^{-9}\ W/m^2

Intensity level is given by :

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{I'}{I_o}), I_o=10^{-12}\ W/m^2

dB=10\ log(\dfrac{1.98\times 10^{-9}}{10^{-12}})

dB = 32.96 dB

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!
