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

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move
QveST [7]
Power is the energy in a system per time.  It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s

One’s behavior cannot be affected by one’s subconscious
igomit [66]

That statement is false

Our subconscious tend to give a strong influence to our behaviours even if we are not feeling it directly.

For example, let's say that there is a boy that hurt by cats and it's ingrained in his head that cats possess high level of danger to him. Even after that boy grow up, his subsconcious would most likely cause a certain level of paranoia that make him either scared of cats or simply annoyed by seeing them.

Phobos's Orbit. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9,380 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 0.3189 days. Assu
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .

The relationship between frequency and period is...
Kazeer [188]

\\

Frequency, f, is how many cycles of an oscillation occur per second and is measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). The period of a wave, T, is the amount of time it takes a wave to vibrate one full cycle. These two terms are inversely proportional to each other: f = 1/T and T = 1/f.

Hope It Helps!
