Answer:

▲Ssurroundings is +ve and greater than ▲Ssystem

Explanation:

The Second Law of

Thermodynamics

States that, a spontaneous process leads to an increase in the entropy of the universe. That is for a spontaneous process ∆Suniv > 0

or ▲Ssystem + ▲Ssurroundings > 0

Hence according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics when

▲Suniverse > 0, means that the process is spontaneous

▲Suniverse = 0 the process will not take place under ordinary condition

▲Suniverse < 0, The backward, opposite or alternate process occurs

spontaneously

Therefore since the process is spontaneous

∆Suniv = ▲Ssystem + ▲Ssurroundings > 0

However ▲Ssystem < 0

Therefore ▲Ssurroundings - ▲Ssystem

> 0 or

▲Ssurroundings > ▲Ssystem

Hence ▲Ssurroundings is +ve and greater than ▲Ssystem

wo parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

<em> -18896.49 V/m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Distance between the two plates = 10 cm = 10 x 10^{-2} m = 0.1 m

Also, one of the plates is taken as<em> zero volt.</em>

a. The potential strength between the zero volt plate, and 7.05 cm (0.0705 m) away is 393 V

b. The potential strength between the other plate, and 2.95 cm (0.0295 m) away is 393 V

<em>Potential field strength = -dV/dx</em>

where dV is voltage difference between these points,

dx is the difference in distance between these points

For the first case above,

potential field strength = -393/0.0705 = -5574.46 V/m

For the second case ,

potential field strength = -393/0.0295 = -13322.03 V/m

Magnitude of the field strength across the plates will be

-5574.46 + (-13322.03) = -5574.46 + 13322.03 =<em> -18896.49 V/m</em>

A truck driver sees a dog running into the road. He immediately brakes. Describe the energy transfers in the truck as it comes t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

A mass of 10kg is a point a on a table is moved to a point B.if the line joining A and is horizantal what is the done on the obj
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

work done on the object by gravitational force = 0 joules

Explanation:

work = force × displacement

force = mass × acceleration

so,

work = mass × acceleration × displacement

we know that mass= 10 kg , gravitational acceleration= 9.8 m/s^2

and displacement= 0 m since the object is not moving vertically.

so,

work = 10 × 9.8 × 0 = 0 joules

Which best describes the image of a concave mirror when
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

when the object goes from the focal length to twice the focal length the image goes from infinity to twice the focal length, this image is real and inverted

Explanation:

Let's use the constructor equation to describe the image of a concave mirror

    1 / f = 1 / p + 1q

where f is the focal length, p and q the distance to the object and the image, respectively

     1 /q = 1/f - 1/p

tell us that the image is between the focal and twice the focal, let's calculate the position of the image

for both ends

case 1, distance to the object       p = f

     

       1 / q = 1 / f -1 / f

       1 / q = 0

       q = ∞

    the image is in infinity

case2, distance to object p = 2f

     1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / 2f

     1 / q = 1 / 2f

     q = 2f

the image is twice the focal length, the object and the image are at the same point

therefore the image when the object goes from the focal length to twice the focal length the image goes from infinity to twice the focal length, this image is real and inverted
