Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kg book on top of the spring and release the book
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

If the mass of a material is 46 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
umka21 [38]

<u>Answer</u>

3.2857 g/cm³


<u>Explanation</u>

Density of a material is the mass of a unit volume of that material. It's SI unit is Kg/m³ but its has other units like g/cm³.

Density  = mass/volume

             = 46/14

             = 3.2857 g/cm³
