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.

How to play track and field
Ahat [919]

Explanation:

Track and Field is a sport, which is includes disciplines of running, jumping, and throwing events. The sport traces back to Ancient Greece. The first recorded examples of this sport were at the Ancient Greek Olympics. In Ancient Greece, only one event was contested, the stadion footrace. Later on, the game expanded to more events.Events of track and field are divided into three: track events, field events, and combined events. Track events consist of Sprints, middle-distance, long distance, hurdles and relays; Field events consist of jumps and throws; while combined events consist of pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. Track and field is usually played outdoors in stadiums. The usual features of a track and field stadium are the outer running track, and the field within the track

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance

Explanation:

As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.

So we will have

E - iR - L\frac{di}{dt} = 0

here we know that

i = \frac{E}{R}(1 - e^{-Rt/L})

now here we have

\tau = \frac{L}{R}

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease

and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value

also the steady state current will be smaller in that case
