Answer:

Heat is removed

Explanation:

Entropy is measure of chaos or disorder. Entropy of the universe is increasing that means it is positive. Entropy is positive for irreversible process. For entropy to be negative which means for it to decrease, heat must be removed  from the system. It will reduce the disorder of the system that is this process will bring order in the system and hence, the entropy would be negative.

heat is removed, because entropy is the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system

f we apply an electrical stimulus to a muscle cell to cause it to contract, the magnitude of that stimulus must be strong enough
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

critical value is known as threshold

Explanation:

solution

when we apply electrical stimulus to the cell of muscle

then magnitude of stimulus will be strong enough for reaching the critical value

and this critical value is threshold because when the size of an stimulus change in requirement for the detection, this is called the threshold

but if change is done by without stimulation then there threshold stimulus is absolute threshold

so correct answer is threshold

Liz puts a 1 kg weight and a 10 kg on identical sleds. She then applies a 10N force to each sled. Describe why the smaller weigh
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

the correct answer is D- Acceleration depends indirectly on the mass.

According to Newton's second law, the force F, the mass m and the acceleration a are related as follows:

F=ma

Therefore,

a=\frac{F}{m}

The acceleration <em>a₁ </em>of the mass<em> m₁ =1 kg</em>  is given by,

a_1=\frac{F}{m_1} \\ =\frac{10N}{1kg} \\ =10m/s^2

The acceleration <em>a₂ </em>of the mass <em>m₂=10 kg</em> is given by,

a_2=\frac{10N}{10kg} \\ =1m/s^2

The smaller mass has greater acceleration.

Thus, when the force applied on two bodies of different masses remains constant, then,

a\alpha  \frac{1}{m}

Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

Capacitors C1 = 6.45 µF and C2 = 2.50 µF are charged as a parallel combination across a 250 V battery. The capacitors are discon
denpristay [2]

Answer:

For C1, Q =  1.6125×10⁻³ C

For C2, Q =  6.25×10⁻⁴ C

Explanation:

Note: Since the capacitors are connected in parallel, The voltage across each of them is equal.

From the question,

Q = CV........................ Equation 1

Where Q = Charge on the capacitor, V = Voltage across the capacitor, C = Capacitance of the capacitor.

For the first capacitor,

Q = C1V............. Equation 2

Where C1 = 6.45 μF= 6.45×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V

Substitute into equation 2

Q = (6.45×10⁻⁶ )(250)

Q = 1.6125×10⁻³ C.

For the the second capacitor,

Q = C2V............. Equation 3

Given: C2 = 2.50 μF = 2.5×10⁻⁶ F, V = 250 V

Q = (2.5×10⁻⁶ )(250)

Q = 6.25×10⁻⁴ C
