It can be shown that the change in entropy in heating or cooling a sample is given by the relation src="https://sciemce.com/media/4/4efdbe7f0e8622ad72.png" class="w-image" />C?
A. +2.93 J/K
B. +2.50 J/K
C. 0 J/K
D. -2.93 J/K
= mc ln 
where m is the mass of the sample, c is the specific heat of the sample, and 
and
are the final and initial temperatures respectively. What is the change in entropy when 20.0 grams of aluminum with a specific heat of 0.9 J/gm K is heated from 10.0
C 60.0

Two boxes of the same mass sit on a rough floor. These boxes are made of the same kind of cardboard and are identical except that one is twice as large as the other. If it takes 200 N to start moving the smaller box, how much force does it take to start moving the larger one?
A. Still 200 N B. 400 N C. 800 N D. It depends (specify)
