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

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

     v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

Maximum Tension is T=10.0N

Generally making (m/l) subject from the equation mathematically we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}

(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the plastic rod becomes negatively charged and the fur becomes positively charged. As a con
Yuri [45]

Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
