Answer:

1.  Decreases,

2.   Increases,

3.   Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be  p_0

Let the exit  pressure be p_e

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}

  = 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115

What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the cur
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the completed question

If the resistor in the circuit had a larger resistance then the current would be then have to be proportionally smaller. Because the batteries each give off 1.5 volts then the current would have to be the variable that would change. What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the current? What would happen to the resistor?

Explanation:

Using ohms law as our basis

Ohms law state that, the voltage in an ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the current

V∝I

Resistance is the constant of proportionality

Then

V=iR

Since we want a relationship between current and resistance.

then, I=V/R

So, current is inversely proportional to Resistance

as the current increase the resistance reduce and as the current reduces the resistance increases.

a. So, increasing the voltage from 1.5V to 12V increases the current In the circuit because voltage Is directly proportional to I.

From ohms law

V=iR

When v =1.5V

I=1.5/R

When V increase to 12V

I=12/R

I.e, it increases by a factor of 8. Eight times it's initial value

b. Now, the resistance in the circuit is the constant of proportionality and it doesn't change in a given circuit expect when using a variable resistoa r like rheostat.
