Answer:

a.  -4.166 J/K

b. 8.37 J/K

c. 4.21 J/K

d. entropy always increases.

Explanation:

Given :

Temperature at hot reservoir , $T_h$ = 720 K

Temperature at cold reservoir , $T_c$ = 358 K

Transfer of heat, dQ = 3.00 kJ = 3000 J

(a). In the hot reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_h= -\frac{dQ}{t_h}$              (the negative sign shows the loss of heat)

$dS_h= -\frac{3000}{720}$

      =  -4.166 J/K

(b)  In the cold reservoir, the change of entropy is given by:

$dS_c= \frac{dQ}{t_c}$              

$dS_c= \frac{3000}{358}$

      =  8.37 J/K

(c). The entropy change in the universe is given by:

$dS=dS_h+dS_c$

    = -4.16+8.37

   = 4.21 J/K

(d). According to the concept of entropy, the entropy of the universe is always increasing and never decreasing for an irreversible process. If the entropy of universe decreases, it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Hence, in part (c), the result have to be positive.

Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.
