The most familiar non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. In contrast a contact force is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. All four known fundamental interactions are non-contact forces: Gravity, the force of attraction that exists among all bodies that have mass.

An insulated box has a barrier that confines a gas to only one side of the box. The barrier springs a leak, allowing the gas to

Vilka [71]

Answer:

B) The entropy is greater in the second state, with the gas on both sides of the box.

Explanation:

As we know that ,this is a irreversible process .The process leaves some effect on the surrounding or on the system itself ,is known as irreversible process.But on the other hand those process does not leave any effect on the system and surrounding is known as reversible process.

The entropy in the irreversible process always increases ,that is why the the entropy will be more when gas occupy the both boxes.

Therefore the answer is --B

Two cars A and B, travel in a straight line. The distance of A from the starting point is given as a function of time by x????(?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

a) They are in the same point

b) t = 0 s, t = 2.27 s, t = 5.73 s

c) t = 1 s, t = 4.33 s

d) t = 2.67 s

Explanation:

Given equations are:

$x_{a}(t) = at+bt^2$

$x_{b}(t) = ct^2-dt^3$

Constants are:

$a = 2.60 m/s, b = 1.20 m/s^2, c= 2.80 m/s^2, d = 0.20 m/s^3$

a) "Just after leaving the starting point" means that t = 0. So, if we look the equations, both $x_a(t)$ and $x_b(t)$ depend on t and don't have constant terms.

So both cars A and B are in the same point.

b) Firstly, they are in the same point in x = 0 at t = 0. But for generalized case, we must equalize equations and solve quadratic equation where roots will give us proper t value(s).

$at+bt^2 = ct^2-dt^3$

$2.6t + 1.2t^2 = 2.8t^2 - 0.2t^3\\0.2t^2 - 1.6t + 2.6 = 0\\t^2 - 8t + 13 = 0$

$t_1 = 4 - \sqrt{3} = 2.27$ s, $t_1 = 4 + \sqrt{3} = 5.73$ s

c) Since the distance isn't changing, the velocities are equal. To find velocities, we need to take the derivatives of both equations with respect to time and equalize them.

$v_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_a(t) = a + 2bt \\v_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_b(t) = 2ct - 3dt^2\\a+2bt = 2ct - 3dt^2\\3dt^2+2(b-c)t+a = 0\\0.6t^2-3.2t+2.6 = 0$

$t_1 = 1$ s, $t_2 = 4.33$ s

d) For same acceleration, we we need to take the derivatives of velocity equations with respect to time and equalize them.

$a_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_a(t) = 2b \\a_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_b(t) = 2c - 6dt\\2b = 2c - 6dt\\3dt = c - b\\t = (c - b)/3d = (2.8 - 1.2)/(3*0.2) = 2.67$ s
