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 2 kg ball is moving 3 m/s when it starts rolling up a hill.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

the height reached is = 0.458 [m]

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the ball and see the location of the reference point where the potential energy is zero. But the kinetic energy will be defined by the following expression:

Ek=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\where:Ek= kinetic energy [J]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\v = velocity of the ball [m/s]

Replacing the values on the equation we have:

Ek=\frac{1}{2}*(2)*(3^{2} )\\ Ek=9[J]\\

This kinetic energy will be transformed in potential energy in the moment when the ball starts to rolling up. Therefore the maximum height reached by the ball depends of the initial velocity given to the ball.

Ek=Ep\\where\\Ep=potential energy [J]\\Ep=m*g*h\\where\\g=gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h=height reached [m]\\

Now we have:

h=\frac{Ep}{m*g} \\h=\frac{9}{2*9.81} \\\\h=0.45 [m]

In that moment when the ball reach the 0.45 [m] the potencial energy will be maximum and equal to the kinetic energy when the ball has a velocity of 3[m/s]

the threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. it is approximately 10−12w/m2 . find the
vivado [14]

The distance is 97720.5 m

From the question, we have

P = 0.06 W × 2 = 0.12 W

d = ?

Sound intensity, I = P/4πd²

I = 10⁻¹² W/m²

10⁻¹² = 0.12/4πd²

d = 97720.5 m

The distance is 97720.5 m

Sound intensity :

The power carried by sound waves per unit area in the direction  perpendicular to that region is known as sound intensity or acoustic intensity. The watt per square meter (W/m2) is the SI unit of intensity, which also covers sound intensity. Sound intensity is a measure of how quickly energy moves across a given space. The unit area in the SI measurement system is 1 m2. So Watts per square meter are used to measure sound intensity. As there will be energy flow in certain directions but not in others, sound intensity also provides a measure of direction.

How does competition affect population size? Use the terms carrying capacity and limiting factor with your example.
svetoff [14.1K]

Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. This flat upper line on a growth curve is the carrying capacity.
