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

How does losing an electron result in a positive charge?
AlekseyPX
A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge. Usually, the amount of electrons and protons is the same, but when an electron is lost usually because of radiation or a chemical reaction the resulting amount of electrons/ protons results in a different charge for the atom in general.
When there are more electrons the result it a negative ion, and when there are more protons it is a positive ion. 
So, to answer your question: if an electron is lost from a neutral atom and there are more protons than electrons you get a positive charge. Have a good day!

List three things that can affect an objects resistance.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Your friend says the following to you: "The lungs are the main
posledela

The respiratory system is made up of multiple organs, saying that the lungs is the only required organ is very wrong. While the lungs are probably the most important part of it, the organs that transfer the air are definitely necessary for everything to work.

The main organ that is needed for air to flow from the mouth to the lungs is the trachea, or the windpipe. This connects the back of the mouth to the lungs, without this, no air could get into the lungs, thus rendering them useless.

If a circuit contains a 12v battery and two 3 bulbs in series
Paha777 [63]

If the resistance of each bulb is 3 ohms, and they are connected across the battery, then current will flow through them.

In series, the two 3-ohm bulbs will look like a single 6-ohm resistance.

      Current = (voltage) / (resistance)  =  (12v) / (6 ohms) = 2 Amperes.

The battery will need to deliver some power to the circuit.

       Power = (voltage) x (current) = (12v) x (2 Amperes)  =  24 watts .

Each bulb will dissipate 12 watts, in the form of light and heat.
