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

Answer: A is your answer i am sorry if i am wrong

Explanation:

he first PLCs were programmed with a technique that was based on relay logic wiring schematics. This eliminated the need to teach the electricians, technicians and engineers how to program a computer - but, this method has stuck and it is the most common technique for programming PLCs today.

A cloud of interstellar gas is rotating. Because the gravitational force pulls the gas particles together, the cloud shrinks, an
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

Here, angular momentum is conserved.

l_1\omega_1 =l_2\omega_2

When the cloud shrinks under the right conditions, a star may be formed.

Thus, Diameter of clouds are much higher than a star.

Moment of inertia of cloud is greater than the star's inertial.

so, angular velocity of the star would be greater than angular velocity of the rotating gas.

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.
