For our statistical definition of entropy, we use the equation S = klnW. In this equation, what does k represent?

1 answer:

7 0

In the natural logarithm format or in equivalent notation (see: logarithm) as:

base e assumed, is called the Planck entropy, Boltzmann entropy, Boltzmann entropy formula, or Boltzmann-Planck entropy formula, a statistical mechanics, S is the entropy of an ideal gas system, k is the Boltzmann constant (ideal gas constant R divided by Avogadro's number N), and W, from the German Wahrscheinlichkeit (var-SHINE-leash-kite), meaning probability, often referred to as multiplicity (in English), is the number of “states” (often modeled as quantum states), or "complexions", the particles or entities of the system can be found in according to the various energies with which they may each be assigned; wherein the particles of the system are assumed to have uncorrelated velocities and thus abide by the Boltzmann chaos assumption.

I hope this helps.

A certain resistance thermometer read 14.5 ohms in pure melting ice and 18.5 ohms in steam at standard atmospheric pressure what

The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

<h3>What is a resistance thermometer?</h3>

A resistance thermometer is a type of thermometer that measures temperature through a change in resistance.

To calculate the resistance of the thermometer at room temperature, we use the formula below.

Formula:

100/27 = 2/(x-14.5)..............Eqquation 1

Where:

x = Resistance of the thermometer at room temperature

Make x the subject of the equation

x = [(27×2)/100]+14.5
x = (54/100)+14.5
x = 0.54+14.5
x = 15.04 ohms.

Hence, The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

Answer:

<h3>B. 19miles</h3>

Explanation:

If Freddy drives 4 miles east to his friend's house. He then travels 9 more miles east to the supermarket. Finally on his way back home he out of gas 6 miles after leaving the supermarket, the distance travel by fred will be the sup of all the distances he covered throughout the journey.

Distance covered by fred = 4miles + 9miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred = 13miles + 6miles

Distance covered by fred = 19miles

A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

disa [49]

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, $\mu m g$ . For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
$ma=-\mu m g$
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
$a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
$2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2$
where $v_f=0$ is the final speed of the skier and $v_i=4.75 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
$S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m$
