A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 781 K, and r

eservoir 2 is at a temperature of 335 K. Compute the total change in entropy arising from the conduction of 1477 J of heat through the wire. Please give your answer in units of J/K.

Answer:2.517 J/K

Explanation:

Given

Reservoir 1 Temperature T_1=781 K

Reservoir 2 Temperature T_2=335 K

Let Q is the amount of heat Flows i.e. Q=1477 J

thus change in Entropy is given by \frac{\sum Q}{T}

\Delta S=\frac{\sum Q}{T}=-\frac{Q}{T_1}+\frac{Q}{T_2}

\Delta S=\frac{\sum Q}{T}=-\frac{1477}{781}+\frac{1477}{335}

\Delta S=\frac{\sum Q}{T}=-1.891+4.4089

\Delta S=\frac{\sum Q}{T}=2.517 J/K

An object is held at rest and allowed to drop How far does the object fall in 3.3 seconds?
IgorC [24]
After x seconds, an object will fall \frac{1}{2}at^2 where a is acceleration due to gravity and t is time

so when t=3.3
the distance it will fall is (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(3.3m)^2=53.361m
it will fal 53.361 meters

A ball hits a wall horizontally at 6m/s and rebounces at 4.4m/s the ball is in contact with wall for 0.04 sec. what is the accel
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Acceleration (a) = 40 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 4.4 m/s

Time taken (t) = 0.04sec

Find:

Acceleration (a) = ?

Computation:

We know that,

⇒ v = u + at

⇒ a = (v - u) / t

⇒ Acceleration (a) = (4.4 - 6) / 0.04

⇒ Acceleration (a) = (-1.6) / 0.04

Acceleration (a) = 40 m/s²

Two stars have the same radius but have very different temperatures. the red star has a surface temperature of 3,000 k and the b
dangina [55]
I would say that insofar as the two stars temperatures are presumably closely related to their luminosity, that the blue star at 156,100 k compared to 3000k for the red star then the blue star has a luminosity of 52 times that of the red star.

Please tell me why the answer is zero
Oduvanchick [21]

This question is checking to see whether you understand the meaning
of "displacement".

Displacement is a vector: 

-- Its magnitude (size) is the distance between the start-point and
the end-point, no matter what route might have been followed along
the way.

-- Its direction is the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

Talking about the Earth's orbit around the sun, we can forget about
the direction of the displacement, and just talk about its magnitude
(size).

If we pretend that the sun is not moving and dragging the whole
solar system along with it, then what do we see the Earth doing
in one year ? 
We mark the place where the Earth is at the stroke of midnight
on New Year's Eve.  Then we watch it as it swings around through
this gigantic orbit, all the way around the sun, and in a year, it's back
to the same point that we marked ! 

So what's the magnitude of the displacement in exactly one year ?
It's the distance between the start-point and the end-point.  But the
Earth came back to the same place it started from, so there's no
separation at all between the start-point and the end-point. 
The Earth covered a huge distance in that year, but the displacement
is zero.
