<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>

harge of uniform density (100 nC/m3) is distributed throughout a hollow cylindrical region formed by two coaxial cylindrical sur
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 8.47 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

uniform charge density, λ = 100 nC/m³

inner radii of the cylinder, r =  1.0 mm and 3.0 mm

distance from the symmetry axis, R = 2.0 mm

Volume =\pi (R^2 -r^2)l\\\\Volume =\pi ((2*10^{-3})^2 -(1*10^{-3})^2)l\\\\Volume =\pi (4*10^{-6} - 1*10^{-6})l\\\\Volume = 3*10^{-6} \pi l \ m^3

Area = 2πrl

Area =2π(2 x 10⁻)l

Volume = A x d

d = Volume / Area

d = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{3*10^{-6}*\pi*l}{4\pi *10^{-3} l} = 75 *10^{-5} \ m

the magnitude of the electric field

E = \frac{\lambda *d}{\epsilon_o} = \frac{100*10^{-9} *75*10^{-5}}{8.854*10^{-12}} \\\\E = 8.47 \ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 8.47 N/C

Explain why ice melts in a cup at room temperature, in terms of energy transfer and the second law of thermodynamics.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics describes the direction in which heat is transferred between systems, <u>heat is a form of energy</u> in transition.

This law says that heat or energy always flows spontaneously from the body or system with a higher temperature to a lower temperature system (from something hot to something cold, and not the other way around).

This is why if we leave an ice at room temperature it will eventually melt, because <u>the environment transferred energy to the ice</u> and caused its temperature to increase and thus to turn into a liquid form.

The second law can also be interpreted in terms of entropy, and tells us that entropy, which is often interpreted as a measure of disorder, always increases.
