The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

An oxygen molecule is adsorbed onto a small patch of the surface of a catalyst. It's known that the molecule is adsorbed on 1 of 36 possible sites for adsorption. Calculate the entropy of this system.

Explanation:

It is known that Boltzmann formula of entropy is as follows.

             s = k ln W

where,   k = Boltzmann constant

              W = number of energetically equivalent possible microstates or configuration of the system

In the given case, W = 36. Now, we will put the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  s = k ln W

                    = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} ln (36)        

                    = 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy of this system is 4.945 \times 10^{-23} J/K.

Consider two uniform solid spheres where both have the same diameter, but one has twice the mass of the other. how much larger i
egoroff_w [7]
<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
   The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
 I = (2/5)mr^2
 where
 I = moment of inertia
 m = mass
  r = radius

   Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>

Two friends of different masses are on the playground. They are playing on the seesaw and are able to balance it even though the
Westkost [7]

Answer:

They are able to balance torques due to gravity.

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

Explanation:

When two friends of different masses will balance themselves on see saw then at equilibrium position the see saw will remain horizontal

This condition will be torque equilibrium position where the see saw will not rotate

Here we can say

F_1 L_1 = F_2L_2

here we know that force is due to weight of two friends

and their positions are different with respect to the lever about which see saw is rotating

since both friends are of different weight so they will balance themselves are different positions as per above equation

A person lifts a 25 kg box of old sports equipment at an angle of 75 degrees to the vertical to a shelf 2.6 meters above. How mu
kogti [31]

Answer:

164.87 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done (W) = mghcosθ........................ Equation 1

Where m = mass of the box, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity, θ = angle to the vertical

Given: m = 25 kg, h = 2.6 meters, θ = 75°.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value into equation 1

W = 25×9.8×2.6×cos75°

W = 164.87 J.
