An insulated box has a barrier that confines a gas to only one side of the box. The barrier springs a leak, allowing the gas to

flow and occupy both sides of the box. Which statement best describes the entropy of this system? A) The entropy is greater in the first state, with all the gas on one side of the box. B) The entropy is greater in the second state, with the gas on both sides of the box. C) The entropy is the same in both states, since no heat was added to the gas and its temperature did not change.

Answer:

B) The entropy is greater in the second state, with the gas on both sides of the box.

Explanation:

As we know that ,this is a irreversible process .The process leaves some effect on the surrounding or on the system itself ,is known as irreversible process.But on the other hand those process does not leave any effect on the system and surrounding is known as reversible process.

The entropy in the irreversible process always increases ,that is why the the entropy will be more when gas occupy the both boxes.

Therefore the answer is --B

Which type of modulation is used by remote-control toys?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Explanation:

Experts in this field report that the modulation is FM or frequency modulation. There are exceptions, but they were not listed.

When an object is located 32 cm to the left of the lens, the image is formed 17 cm to the right of the lens. What is the focal l
Harman [31]

Answer: 11.1cm

Explanation:

Object distance (u) = 32cm

Image distance(v) = 17cm

Focal length(f) =?

Lens formular:

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/f = 1/32 + 1/17

Taking the L. C. M of 17 and 32

1/f = (17 + 32) / 544

1/f = 49/544

Taking the reciprocal

f = 544/49

f = 11.1 cm

Therefore, Focal length of the lens is 11.1cm

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles
