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

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>
