Suppose we have two identical boxes

Physics
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(C) The number of microstates of system 2 is twice as high as those of system 1.

Explanation:

In thermal contact, energy is exchanged between the two systems until thermal equilibrium is reached.

In thermal equilibrium, the temperature of system one is always equal to temperature of system two.

Also from second law of thermodynamic;

The entropy of an isolated system never decreases: in equilibrium, the entropy stays the same; otherwise the entropy increases until equilibrium is reached.

Since the two boxes are in thermal equilibrium, the entropy of system 1 is equal to the entropy of system 2.

However, a microstate is a specific microscopic configuration of a thermodynamic system that the system may occupy with a certain probability in the course of its thermal fluctuations.

Since system 2 = twice system 1

Then, microscopic configuration of system 2 is equal to twice microscopic configuration of system 1.

P₂ (Box(A+B))= P₁(2A), since the two boxes are identical.

Therefore, the number of microstates of system 2 is twice as high as those of system 1.

The Gibson family have bought tickets to the Christmas Market. There are 4 mothers, 2 grand-mothers and 4 daughters. What is the
koban [17]
The minimum number of tickets that could admit all of them is six (6).

This thing is impossible to explain in words, so I shall attempt it with a diagram:

Here are the six ladies:

       ( A )      ( B )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( C )      ( D )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( E )       ( F )  

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .

So look what we have now:

--  'A'  and  'B'  are the mothers of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the mothers.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the mothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
     There's the OTHER 2 mothers. 
 
--  'A'  and  'B'  are the grandmothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
    There's the 2 grandmothers.

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the daughters.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .
     There's the OTHER 2 daughters.

You want to know what ? !
The group is even bigger than THAT.
There are also 2 GRAND-daughters in the family ...  'E'  and  'F' .

So now you have a list of 12 people ! ... 4 mothers, 2 grandmothers,
4 daughters, and 2 grand-daughters ... and they all get in to the
Christmas Market with only six tickets.    Legally !

Such a deal !

Don't forget :  Christmas this year is also the first day of Chanukah !
                     All for the same price !

The resistance created by waves on a 120-m-long ship is tested in a channel using a model that is 4 m long Y Part A If the ship
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

V_m = 12.78 km/hr

Explanation:

given,

length of the ship = 120 m

length of model of the ship = 4 m

Speed at which the ship travels = 70 km/h

speed of model = ?

by using froude's law

  F_r = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}}

for dynamic similarities

  (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_P = (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_{model}

  (\dfrac{V_p}{\sqrt{L_p}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{L_m}})

  (\dfrac{70}{\sqrt{120}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{4}})

          V_m = 12.78 km/hr

hence, the velocity of model will be 12.78 km/h
