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.

What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds <br>​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

The relation between wave period and frequency is as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

where, T = time period

f = frequency

It is given that wave period is 18 seconds. Therefore, calculate the wave period as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

or, f = \frac{1}{T}f=

T

1

= \frac{1}{18 sec}

18sec

1

= 0.055 per second (1cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

or, f = 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz

<h3>Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz .</h3>

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s

Guys please helpp!!!!1
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Position A/Position E

K = E, U = 0

Position B/Position D

K = (1-x)\cdot E, U = x\cdot E, for 0 < x < 1

Position C

K = 0, U = E

Explanation:

Let suppose that ball-Earth system represents a conservative system. By Principle of Energy Conservation, total energy (E) is the sum of gravitational potential energy (U) and translational kinetic energy (K), all measured in joules. In addition, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height (h) and translational kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

Besides, gravitational potential energy is increased at the expense of translational kinetric energy. Then, relative amounts at each position are described below:

Position A/Position E

K = E, U = 0

Position B/Position D

K = (1-x)\cdot E, U = x\cdot E, for 0 < x < 1

Position C

K = 0, U = E

1. The diagram shows a satellite traveling in uniform circular motion around the Earth.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

M V R = constant      angular momentum is constant because  no forces act in the direction of V

Since M (mass) = constant

V R = constant

The force is directed along the gravitational force vector (towards the center of rotation)
