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

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
