The entropy of a hot baked potato decreases as it cools. is this a violation of the increase of entropy principle? explain.

<span>This is not a violation of entropy principle, because this law is not violated in any way as it applies to both real an ideal situations independently. The entropy of a real system always raises and is an irreversible process.</span>

A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught

meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

$y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$y_{o}$ - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

$y$ - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $y = y_{o}$ , $t = 3.56\,s$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the initial velocity of the softball is:

$v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0$

$v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}$

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

IrinaK [193]

A) average acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time

= 7700 - 0 / 11

= 700ms^-2

B) force = mass x acceleration

= (3.05 x 105) x 700

= 320.25 x 700

= 224,175N

poizon [28]

Answer:

$4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

E = Energy = $4.91\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Wavelength ejected is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.91\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$

The maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal is $4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m$
