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

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.

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.
