A boulder of mass 2000. kg breaks loose of a mountainside and plunges 200. m straight down into a lake at a temperature of 5.00◦

C. Assuming the energy of the rock transforms into thermal energy, calculate the change in entropy of the lake.

Answer:

DS = 13865.7[J/K]

Explanation:

We can calculate the energy of the rock, like the potential energy relative to the lake level. Which can be calculated by means of the following expression of the potential energy:

E_{p}=m*g*h\\\\where:\\m = mass = 2000[kg]\\h = elevation = 200 [m]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

Therefore:

E_{p}=2000*9.81*200\\E_{p}=3924000 [J]\\

This energy is transformed into thermal energy.

we shall remember that isothermal heat transfer processes are internally reversible, so the entropy change of a system during one of these processes can be determined, by the following expression.

DS=\frac{Q}{T}\\ where:\\DS = entropy change [J/K]\\Q = Heat transfer [J]\\T = temperature [K]

T = 5 + 278 = 283[K]

DS = 3924000 / 283

DS = 13865.7[J/K]

Determine if the data are qualitative, quantitative, or neither. Zinc is a silver-gray metal. Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L.
AysviL [449]

Qualitative data gives the information of quality which can not be measured in numbers. For example: Color of eyes, softness of skin.

Quantitative data is information of quantity that can be represented in numbers. For example length and mass of any object.

Zinc is a silver-gray metal is a qualitative data, here silver gray color is quality of zinc metal which can not be measured in numbers.

Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L is a quantitative data. The value of density can be compared with other elements by comparing the numbers.

Gallium is not found in nature is neither qualitative nor quantitative.

Nitrogen has a melting point of –210.00 °C is a quantitative data because this is expressed in numbers.

Aluminum is a solid is a qualitative data because it tells about the state of element which can not be measured in numbers.

Can someone help me wit hthis science question?
klemol [59]

Answer:

see explanation  

Explanation:

There is an increasing demand for materials and natural resources from a growing global population, especially those in more economically developed countries. The world's resources are being used up more quickly. The consumption of resources is spread unequally between MEDCs (more economically developed countries), who use more resources, and LEDCs (less economically developed countries), who use less.

The gap between the rich and poor is more evident when the resources are shared so unevenly and unfairly and natural resources like materials and natural energy cannot reach the demand of the people which can have consequences and be very difficult to manage. Having a lack of these materials in a country can result in prices going up for them, and the industry could be harder to work in because of a lack of materials.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
