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 camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?
GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

a)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

b)

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

Consider a particle with unit charge q, and mass m, in a constant magnetic field B directed along the positive z–axis. The parti
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Explanation:

Magnetic field is along z axis while velocity is in x-z plane

so we will have

F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

so here we can say

F = q(u\hat i + w\hat k) \times (B \hat k)

so we will have

F = quB(-\hat j)

so here the net force on the charge is perpendicular to its x directional velocity along - Y direction

So due to this component of motion it will move along a circle while other component of the motion will remain uniform always

So here it is combination of two parts

1) Uniform circular motion

2) Uniform motion

So we can say that it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.
