What is gibbs paradox?

1 answer:

7 0

This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".

A 0.300 kg block is pressed against a spring with a spring constant of 8050 N/m until the spring is compressed by 6.00 cm. When

natita [175]

Answer:

a) $\mu_{k} = 0.704$ , b) $R = 0.312\,m$

Explanation:

a) The minimum coeffcient of friction is computed by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s}$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{\left(8050\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.06\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (7\,m)}$

$\mu_{k} = 0.704$

b) The speed of the block is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$v = x\cdot \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$v = (0.06\,m)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{8050\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.3\,kg} }$

$v \approx 9.829\,\frac{m}{s}$

The radius of the circular loop is:

$\Sigma F_{r} = -90\,N -(0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = -(0.3\,kg)\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$\frac{\left(9.829\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}}{R} = 309.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$R = 0.312\,m$

Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essenti

Alex73 [517]

Universe contains billions and billions of stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids, comets and many more different type of bodies. These objects emit radiations of varied frequency. In order to study these different kind of objects, different kind of technology is required. There are different type of missions: some contain probes which land on the surface, some orbit the bodies etc. These are for solar system. Yet some are space observatories having detectors to study light from distant objects. Further, there are different detectors for different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum.

A grocery cart with a mass of 15 kg is being pushed at constant speed up a 12∘ ramp by a force FP which acts at an angle of 17∘

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: a. 198.6J b. - 198.6J

Explanation: Parameters given:

m = 15kg

g = 9.8m/s²

∅ = 12°

a. Work done by the force Fp on the cart if the ramp is 6.5m long.

Given the formula, Fp = Mgsin∅ = 15 x 9.8 x sin12° = 30.56N

Therefore Work done (Wp) = Fp x Ramp Length = 30.56 x 6.5 = 198.64Nm or 198.6J

b. The work done by the force mg on the cart.

Since the cart is being pushed upwards, it acts against gravity with its direction of motion. Taking into account the formula from the previous answer for Work Done (Wg) = Fmg x distance

= 15kg x -9.8m/s² x Sin12° x 6.5m

= - 198.6J

Which statement is correct?

NISA [10]

Answer:

1st statement is true

Explanation:

Here statement 1 is correct

Let think about it, if you push down the bar then you are lifting your weight off the pedals.

Obviously, this question does not take into account of racing bikes with straps on pedals, where you would push on one side and pull on the other to match your legs are doing, with straps your other leg can pull pedals upward.
