A box of volume V has a movable partition separating it into two compartments. The left compartment contains 3000 particles, the

right one contains 1000 particles, and initially the partition is in the middle so that the compartments are of equal volume. The partition is released and slides horizontally until the system is in a new equilibrium state.
(a) In terms of V, what is the volume of each compartment once the new equilibrium state is reached?
(b) What is the change in the system’s entropy during this process?

Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V - 3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V represent volume of the box containing the two compartments

V1 represents compartment of the left compartment

V2 represents compartment of the right compartment

Momentum of the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum of the compartments after impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To obtain the volume of each compartment, that is, V1 and V2, we say:

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

∴ V1 = 4000V - 1000V2/3000 = 4V - V2/3

Also, V2 = 4000V - 3000V1/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) Change in entropy,Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

By substituting the V1 and V2, we have:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

16000V - 4000V2 - 12000V + 9000V1

∴ Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explain how ozone is both beneficial and detrimental to human health.

Gemiola [76]

The ozone layer is beneficial because it protects us from the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. Without it, survival would be difficult. It is harmful by containing all the pollution and chemicals . That damages our lungs and causes chest pain, coughing,etc.

If you shine a light of frequency 375hz on a double slit setup , and you measure the slit separation to be 950 nm and the screen

amm1812

Answer:

y = 33.93 10⁵ m

Explanation:

This is an interference exercise, for the contributory interference is described by the expression

d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry for the angle

tan θ = y / L

how the angles are small

tan θ = sin θ / cos tea = sin θ

we substitute

sin θ = y / L

d y / L = m λ

y = m λ L / d

the light fulfills the relation of the waves

c = λ f

λ = c / f

λ = 3 10⁸ /375

λ = 8 10⁵ m

first order m = 1

let's calculate

y = 1 8 10⁵ 4030 10-9 / 950 10-9

y = 33.93 10⁵ m

A system of ideal gas at 22°C undergoes an ischoric process with an internal energy decrease of 4.30 × 10 3 4.30×103 J to a fina

Komok [63]

Answer:

The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature = 22°C

Internal energy $U=4.30\times10^{3}\ J$

Final temperature = 16°C

We need to calculate the approximate change in entropy

Using formula of the entropy

$\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta U}{T}$

Where, $\Delta U$ = internal energy

T = average temperature

Put the value in to the formula

$\Delta S=\dfrac{-4.30\times10^{3}}{\dfrac{22+273+16+273}{2}}$

$\Delta S=-14.72\ J/K$

Hence, The approximate change in entropy is -14.72 J/K.

In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

Arada [10]

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V = Velocity of actor

$h_i$ = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

$\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s$

As the linear momentum is conserved

$MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s$

Applying conservation of energy again

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m$

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m
