What is the difference between the states of phase equilibrium and metastability?

Physics

Answer:

The main difference is that the metastable state is not a state of equilibrium, but a state of non-equilibrium that is maintained for a long time. A metastable state is when the system approaches equilibrium in a very slow manner.

And on the other hand the phase equilibrium as the name says is a state of equilibrium in which there are more than two phases coexisting.

Puck B has twice the mass of puck A. Starting from rest, both pucks are pulled the same distance across frictionless ice by stri
gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) 1 : 2

(b) same

Explanation:

Let the mass of puck A is m and the mass of puck B is 2 m.

initial speed for both the pucks is same as u and the distance is same for both is s.

let the tension is T for same.

The kinetic energy is given by

K = 0.5 mv^2

(a) As the speed is same, so the kinetic energy depends on the mass.

So, kinetic energy of A : Kinetic energy of B = m : 2m  = 1 : 2

(b) A the distance s same so the final velocities are also same.

a horse moves a sleigh 1.00 kilometers by applying a horizontal 2000 Newton force on its harness for 45 minutes. what is the pow
tatyana61 [14]
--  If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.

-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds

-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>

Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower.  (0.99295... of 746 watts)
