Answer:

Part a)

W = 16.7 N

Part b)

r = 2.45 R

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on the surface of earth

So the force due to gravity will decrease by the factor of 6

so we will have

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}W_{earth}

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}(100)

W_{moon} = 16.7 N

Part b)

For the same value of the weight as the surface of moon the acceleration due to gravity of earth must be 1/6 times

so we have

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{GM}{6R^2}

r^2 = 6R^2

r = 2.45 R

you read a primary source and a secondary source that discuss the same experiment. There is a difference in the conclusion made
Nuetrik [128]
You should trust the primary source more.

This is because the primary source is make its conclusion from direct observation, while the secondary source is possibly making reference to another secondary source or to another primary.

The primary source should be trusted more because it is from direct observation.

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro
aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

S = \frac{Q}{T}

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy \Delta S_{hot} is smaller than \Delta S_{cold}

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object
