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.

What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver who has opened his parachute and is now slowing down as he falls?

mote1985 [20]

The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.

Examine the cross-sectional slice of a stem of a mint plant. Which statement most specifically describes mint?

Maslowich

The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.

If a 25 kg lawnmower produces 347 w and does 9514 J of work, for

Igoryamba

Steps 1 and 2)

The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.

The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.

-----------------------

Step 3)

Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P

-----------------------

Step 4)

t = W/P

t = 9514/347

t = 27.4178674351586

t = 27.4 seconds

-----------------------

Step 5)

The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.

-----------------------

Note: we don't use the mass at all

Block B is attached to a massless string of length L = 1 m and is free to rotate as a pendulum. The speed of block A after the c

Amanda [17]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The minimum velocity of A is $v_A= 4m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the string is $L = 1m$

The initial speed of block A is $u_A$

The final speed of block A is $v_A = \frac{1}{2}u_A$

The initial speed of block B is $u_B = 0$

The mass of block A is $m_A = 7kg$ gh

The mass of block B is $m_B = 2 kg$

According to the principle of conservation of momentum

$m_A u_A + m_B u_B = m_Bv_B + m_A \frac{u_A}{2}$

Since block B at initial is at rest

$m_A u_A = m_Bv_B + m_A \frac{u_A}{2}$

$m_A u_A - m_A \frac{u_A}{2} = m_Bv_B$

$m_A \frac{u_A}{2} = m_Bv_B$

making $v_B$ the subject of the formula

$v_B =m_A \frac{u_A}{2 m_B}$

Substituting values

$v_B =\frac{7 u_A}{4}$

This $v__B$ is the velocity at bottom of the vertical circle just at the collision with mass A

Assuming that block B is swing through the vertical circle(shown on the second uploaded image ) with an angular velocity of $v__B'$ at the top of the vertical circle

The angular centripetal acceleration would be mathematically represented

$a= \frac{v^2_{B}'}{L}$

Note that this acceleration would be toward the center of the circle

Now the forces acting at the top of the circle can be represented mathematically as

$T + mg = m \frac{v^2_{B}'}{L}$

Where T is the tension on the string

According to the law of energy conservation

The energy at bottom of the vertical circle = The energy at the top of

the vertical circle

This can be mathematically represented as

$\frac{1}{2} m(v_B)^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2_B' + mg 2L$

From above

$(T + mg) L = m v^2_{B}'$

Substitute this into above equation

$\frac{1}{2} m(\frac{7 v_A}{4} )^2 = \frac{1}{2} (T + mg) L + mg 2L$

$\frac{49 mv_A^2}{16} = \frac{1}{2} (T + mg) L + mg 2L$

$\frac{49 mv_A^2}{16} = T + 5mgL$

The value of velocity of block A needed to cause B be to swing through a complete vertical circle is would be minimum when tension on the string due to the weight of B is zero

This is mathematically represented as

$\frac{49 mv_A^2}{16} = 5mgL$

making $v_A$ the subject

$v_A = \sqrt{\frac{80mgL}{49m} }$

substituting values

$v_A = \sqrt{\frac{80* 9.8 *1}{49} }$

$v_A= 4m/s$
