I believe your answer is correct, because 8.7*10^-7 is equal to 0.00000085347.
Hope you do well!
Answer: Friction
Explanation:
Friction and the normal force would be the two initial forces to overcome.
Answer:
We can determine the age of the Earth and the rocks found on Earth with techniques such as measuring ice cores and digging and analysing fossils.
Explanation:
Hopefully this helped!
The variation of entropy of a substance is given by
![\delta S = \frac{\delta Q}{T}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20S%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cdelta%20Q%7D%7BT%7D%20)
(1)
where
![\delta Q](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20Q)
is the heat exchanged in the process
T is the absolute temperature at which the transformation occurs.
The process in the problem is the solidification of the liquid Gallium, which releases an amount of heat equal to:
![\delta Q = m L_f](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20Q%20%3D%20m%20L_f)
where m is the mass of the substance and
![L_f = 80.1 J/g](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=L_f%20%3D%2080.1%20J%2Fg)
is the latent heat of fusion of Gallium. Using m=64.0 g, we find
![\delta Q= m L_f = (64.0 g)(80.1 J/g)=-5126.4 J](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20Q%3D%20m%20L_f%20%3D%20%2864.0%20g%29%2880.1%20J%2Fg%29%3D-5126.4%20J)
where the negative sign means the Gallium is releasing heat to the environment.
Now we can use equation (1) to find the variation of entropy, but first we need to convert the temperature into Kelvin:
![T=29.8^{\circ} + 273.15 = 302.95 K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=T%3D29.8%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D%20%2B%20273.15%20%3D%20302.95%20K)
And so the variation of entropy is
![\delta S = \frac{\delta Q}{T}= \frac{-5126.4 J}{302.95 K}=-16.92 J](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdelta%20S%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Cdelta%20Q%7D%7BT%7D%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5126.4%20J%7D%7B302.95%20K%7D%3D-16.92%20J%20%20)
and the negative sign means the entropy in the process is decreasing.
