WhAT is the change IN THE entropy of 2.0kg of h2o molecules when transform at a constant pressure of 1 atm from water at 100 deg
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The entropy change is 45.2 kJ/K.

Explanation:

mass of water at 100 C = 2 kg

Latent heat of vaporization, L = 2260 kJ/kg

Heat is

H = m L

H = 2 x 2260 = 4520 kJ

Entropy is given by

S = H/T = 4520/100 = 45.2 kJ/K

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

Identify the law, write the equation and calculate the answer to the problem below.
lyudmila [28]

Find refractive index first

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}
