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

A motor has a rotor (with armature) of moment of inertia ????m . The rotor is attached to a gear box of gear ratio G > 1. The
Inessa [10]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : The moment of inertial felt by someone ( J ) is greater that the moment of inertia felt by the motor  i.e. J > Jm

Explanation:

Gear ratio G > 1

a) Determine the moment of inertia felt by the motor

moment of inertia felt by Motor = moment of Inertia at the armature

b) Determine the moment of inertial felt by someone who is rotating the mass by hand

moment of inertia felt by someone is = J

The moment of inertial felt by someone ( J ) is greater that the moment of inertia felt by the motor

attached below is a detailed solution

A company is creating a new mosquito repellent, and needs to figure out how much is needed to stop mosquito bites. They find vol
Jlenok [28]

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)
