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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

A 530-g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the

Agata [3.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of squirrel,m=530 g= $\frac{530}{1000}=0.530 kg$

1kg=1000 g

Area=A= $935 cm^2=935\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2$

Height,h=4.4 m

C=1

$\rho=1.21 kg/m^3$

Width of rectangular prism,b=11.6 cm= $\frac{11.6}{100}=0.116 m$

1 m=100 cm

Length,l=23.2 cm= $0.232 m$

Area= $l\times b=0.116\times 0.232=0.0269 m^2$

Terminal velocity, $v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA}}$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Using the formula

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.530\times 9.8}{1.21\times 1\times 0.0269}}$

$v_t=17.86 m/s$

The velocity of person, $v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Using the formula

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 4.4}$

$v=9.29 m/s$
