Answer:

Transferring heat to a body.

Step by step answer:

Entropy refers to the degree of disorder of a system. This increases when we move from a state of greater order to one of a greater degree of disorder.

By heating a body, this causes the energy of the body to increase. This means that the speed of the molecules that compose it increases and makes them collide more frequently between them, creating an increase in the degree of disorder that exists.

A clear example of heat transfer is when a body changes its state and moves from an orderly state to one of greater disorder.

For example:

Moving from a solid state to a liquid state:

Melt an ice cube

Move from liquid to gaseous:

Heat water until it starts to boil and turns into steam

You do not necessarily have to change the state to increase the entropy.

For example when heating water without boiling.

mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.

51. Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of 5.00Ω by placing a 1.00-

Tanya [424]

Explanation:

Given that,

Terminal voltage = 3.200 V

Internal resistance $r= 5.00\ \Omega$

(a). We need to calculate the current

Using rule of loop

$E-IR-Ir=0$

$I=\dfrac{E}{R+r}$

Where, E = emf

R = resistance

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.200}{1.00\times10^{3}+5.00}$

$I=3.184\times10^{-3}\ A$

(b). We need to calculate the terminal voltage

Using formula of terminal voltage

$V=E-Ir$

Where, V = terminal voltage

I = current

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

$V=3.200-3.184\times10^{-3}\times5.00$

$V=3.18\ V$

(c). We need to calculate the ratio of the terminal voltage of voltmeter equal to emf

$\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}=\dfrac{3.18}{3.200 }$

$\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}= \dfrac{159}{160}$

Hence, This is the required solution.

What is wavelength ?

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda () is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.
