Answer:

Tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step1

Under-inflation is the process of tire failure under low pressure. This contributes the wear on tire.

Step2

On breaking, kinetic energy changes to heat energy because of rubbing of tire. So, rubbing action increases the wear on the tire.

Step3

Acceleration on the vehicle increases the rubbing action as well as the wear and tear on the tire. So, acceleration is an also a major cause of tire wear.

Step4

Tire rotation has least amount of wear and tear due to no rubbing action. It has less amount surface contact with the surface in rotation.

Thus, tire rotation is the least likely cause of tire wear. So, the option D is correct.

Sergeu [11.5K]

To solve the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts and formulas related to the change of ideal gas entropy.

By definition the entropy change would be defined as

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

Using the Boyle equation we have

$\Delta S = C_p ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1})-Rln(\frac{v_1T_2}{v_2T_1})$

Where,

$C_p$ = Specific heat at constant pressure

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of gas

$T_2$ = Final temprature of gas

R = Universal gas constant

$v_1$ = Initial specific Volume of gas

$v_2$ = Final specific volume of gas

According to the statement, it is an isothermal process and the tank is therefore rigid

$T_1 = T_2, v_2=v_1$

The equation would turn out as

$\Delta S = C_p ln1-ln1$

Therefore the entropy change of the ideal gas is 0

Into the surroundings we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat Exchange

T = Temperature in the surrounding

Replacing with our values we have that

$\Delta S = \frac{230kJ}{(30+273)K}$

$\Delta S = 0.76 kJ/K$

Therefore the increase of entropy into the surroundings is 0.76kJ/K
