Since the aluminum bar is not an isolated system, the second law of thermodynamics cannot be applied to the bar alone. Rather, i

t should be applied to the bar in combination with its surroundings (the lake). Assume that the entropy change of the bar is -1238 J/K . What is the change in total entropy ΔStotal?

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

Slope or velocit ime graph represent
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

The slope of the velocity-time graph illustrates the change in velocity with respect to change in time.

In other words, the acceleration of the object is defined by the slope of a velocity graph. The acceleration can be obtained by finding the slope at a particular time.

Hence, the slope of the velocity time graph represent represents acceleration.

2. Also the acceleration of any object, like a car or bike, at some discrete instant in time 't' is termed as instantaneous acceleration which can be determined if we may take the derivate of the given velocity function.

3. A vector that has a direction and magnitude of 1 is termed as a unit vector, often called a direction vector.
