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 much time will it take to perform 440 joule of work at a rare of 11 w?​
kifflom [539]

Answer:

40sec

Explanation:

Data

Work = 440 J

Power= 11watt

time = ?

Power = work done/time

===> time = work done/power

= 440/11

= 40sec

A train is traveling away from you at 120 km/h. it blows its whistle, and you hear a tone of 0.400 kHz. Take the speed of sound
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:B)439.21 Hz

Explanation:

Given

velocity of train v=120 km/h\approx 120\times \frac{5}{18}=33.33 m/s

frequency of train f_a=0.400 kHz\approx 400 Hz

speed of sound c=340 m/s

frequency from Doppler effect can be calculated by

f_a=(\frac{c}{c+v})\cdot f

400=(\frac{340}{340+33.33})\cdot f

400=\frac{340}{373.33}\cdot f

f=400\times 1.098

f=439.21 Hz
