Why does the plot show vertical jumps at the melting and boiling points?

1 answer:

3 0

I think this happens because during melting or boiling at constant temperature, the entropy dramatically increases because energy is removed from the system during the change. Entropy increases with increase in temperature, entropy increases steadily with increasing temperature up to the melting point of the solid, where the entropy increases further due to addition of freedom of molecules which increases the randomness of the substance. At boiling point of liquid, another abrupt increase in entropy occurs, this results from increased volume available to the atoms or molecules as they enter the gaseous state.

A ball accelerates from rest down a ramp at 2.4 m/s^2. Write an equation that could be used to determine the balls finals positi

Alik [6]

Answer:

x=2.4t+4.9t^2

Explanation:

This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:

X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2

We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.

X=0+Vt+1/2at^2

Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.

X=Vt+4.9t^2

Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.

Now, substitute in your velocity value.

X=2.4t+4.9t^2

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

0.99m

Explanation:

Firs you calculate the relative velocity between the boat and the wave. The velocity of the boat is 5m/s and the velocity of the wave is given by:

$v=\lambda f=\lambda\frac{1}{T}=(110m)\frac{1}{8.3s}=13.25\frac{m}{s}$

the relative velocity is:

$v'=13.25m/s-5m/s=8.25\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity is used to know which is the distance traveled by the boat after 20 seconds:

$x'=v't=(8.25m/s)(20s)=165m$

Next, you use the general for of a wave:

$f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)=Acos(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x-\omega t)$

you take the amplitude as 2.0/2 = 1.0m.

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{8.3s}=0.75\frac{rad}{s}$

by replacing the values of the parameters in f(x,t) you obtain the vertical displacement of the boat:

$f(165,20)=1.0m\ cos(\frac{2\pi}{110m}(165)-(0.75\frac{rad}{s})(20s))\\\\f(165,20)=0.99m$
