Provide an example of when momentum is conserved and explain your answer you can get 10 PTS if answered with a good explaination
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of two particles is

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Where m1,m2,v1, and v2 are the respective masses and velocities of the particles at a given time. Then, the two particles collide and change their velocities to v1' and v2'. The final momentum is now

p'=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

The momentum is conserved if no external forces are acting on the system, thus

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

Let's put some numbers in the problem and say

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

(8)(12)+(6)(4)=(8)(-6)+(6)(28)

96+24=-48+168

120=120

It means that when the particles collide, the first mass returns at 6 m/s and the second continues in the same direction at 28 m/s

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.
