At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor
B. It suddenly drops to zero
Explanation:
Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:
- Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
- Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
- Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
- Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. It suddenly drops to zero

C) S waves. s waves cannot travel through liquids
The momentum after collision is given by (m1+m2)v where m1 is the mass of car A, m2 us the mass of car B while v is the common velocity after collision.
Therefore, momentum=(2000+4000)5=30000kgm/s to the right.
Answer:
ΔS total ≥ 0 (ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings)
Explanation:
Assuming that the entropy change in the aluminium bar is due to heat exchange with the surroundings ( the lake) , then the entropy change of the aluminium bar is, according to the second law of thermodynamics, :
ΔS al ≥ ∫dQ/T
if the heat transfer is carried out reversibly
ΔS al =∫dQ/T
in the surroundings
ΔS surr ≥ -∫dQ/T = -ΔS al → ΔS surr ≥ -ΔS al = - (-1238 J/K) = 1238 J/K
the total entropy change will be
ΔS total = ΔS al + ΔS surr
ΔS total ≥ ΔS al + (-ΔS al) =
ΔS total ≥ 0
the total entropy change will be ΔS total = 0 if the process is carried out reversibly in the surroundings
