Consider N non-interacting diatomic molecules stuck on a metal surface. Each molecule can either lie flat on the surface, in whi

ch case it must be aligned to one of two directions, x and y, or it can stand up along the z direction. There is an energy cost e > 0 associated with a molecule standing up, and zero energy for molecules lying flat along x or y directions.
What are the possible energy levels for this system of N particles, and what is the number of microstates associated to each energy level?
Find the entropy and energy of the system as a function of the temperature, T.
What is the probability of a specific molecule standing up?
What is the largest possible value of the energy of the system at any temperature?

Silver has a mass of 10.5 grams and a volume of 19.3 cm3. What is its density?
Neko [114]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{10.5}{19.3}  \\  = 0.54404145...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

An ideal monatomic gas at temperature T is held in a container. If the gas is compressed isothermally, that is at constant tempe
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

d)

\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

A physics student skis down a hill, accelerating at a constant
ikadub [295]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

225 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.

In our case we are given;

Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²

Time, t = 15 s

We are required to find the length of the slope;

Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>

Using the equation of linear motion;

Vf = V₀ + at

Therefore;

Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)

    = 30 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>

Using the other equation of linear motion;

S = 0.5 at + V₀t

We can calculate the length, S of the slope

That is;

S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)

= 225 m

Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m

A car weighs 15,000 N, and its tires are inflated to a pressure of 190 kPa.How large is the area of the car's tires that are in
Elan Coil [88]
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface divided by the area of the surface. Therefore, from the given values, we can easily calculate the area by dividing the force to the pressure. We do as follows:

Area = F / P
Area = 15000 / 190000
Area = 0.0789 m^2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
