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

A 0.2-kg steel ball is dropped straight down onto a hard, horizontal floor and bounces straight up. The ball's speed just before
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of steel ball m=0.2\ kg

initial speed of ball u=10\ m/s

Final speed of ball v=-10\ m/s (in upward direction)

Impulse imparted is given by change in the momentum of object

therefore impulse J is given by

J=\Delta P

\Delta P=m(v-u)

\Delta P=0.2(-10-10)

\Delta =-4\ N-s

so magnitude of Impulse =4 N-s

Kim is ice-skating going 4.6 m/s. What is her velocity after 10 seconds ?
MArishka [77]

This is a uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) exercise.

To start solving this exercise, we obtain the following data:

<h3><u>Data:</u></h3>
  • v = 4.6 m/s
  • d = ¿?
  • t = 10 sec

To calculate distance, speed is multiplied by time.

We apply the following formula: d = v * t.

We substitute the data in the formula: the <u>speed is equal to 4.6 m/s,</u> the <u>time is equal to 10 s</u>, which is left as follows:

\bf{d=4.6\dfrac{m}{\not{s}}*10\not{s} }

\bf{d=46 \ m}

Therefore, the speed at 10 seconds is 46 meters.

A vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and points in the −y-direction, while a vector B has triple the magnitude of A and points
Harman [31]

Answer:

A+B; 5√5 units, 341.57°

A-B; 5√5 units, 198.43°

B-A; 5√5 units, 18.43°

Explanation:

Given A = 5 units

By vector notation and the axis of A, it is represented as -5j

B = 3 × 5 = 15 units

Using the vector notations and the axis, B is +15i. The following vectors ate taking as the coordinates of A and B

(a) A + B = -5j + 15i

A+B = 15i -5j

|A+B| = √(15)²+(5)²

= 5√5 units

∆ = arctan(5/15) = 18.43°

The angle ∆ is generally used in the diagrams

∆= 18.43°

The direction of A+B is 341.57° based in the condition given (see attachment for diagrams

(b) A - B = -5j -15i

A-B = -15i -5j

|A-B|= √(15)²+(-5)²

|A-B| = √125

|A-B| = 5√5 units

The direction is 180+18.43°= 198.43°

See attachment for diagrams

(c) B-A = 15i -( -5j) = 15i + 5j

|B-A| = 5√5 units

The direction is 18.43°

See attachment for diagram
