Answer:
The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.
Explanation:
If the water is cooled reversibly with no phase changes, then there is no entropy generation during the entire process. By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, we represent the change of entropy (
), in joules per gram-Kelvin, by the following model:
(1)
Where:
- Mass, in kilograms.
- Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram-Kelvin.
, 
- Initial and final temperatures of water, in Kelvin.
If we know that 
, 
, 
and 
, then the change in entropy for the entire process is:
The change in entropy is -1083.112 joules per kilogram-Kelvin.
Conduction - touching hot pot
Convection - oven cycling warm air
Conduction - touching a warm coffee mug
Heat from a fire - radiation
Heat from the sun to solar panel - radiation
Warm water rising - convection
Watt stands for power that is energy per unit time
Answer:
When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em> expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>
Explanation:
In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.
Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:
- V = Vo + gt
- d = Vo + gt² / 2
- Vf² = Vo² + 2gd
As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.
On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.
