An insulated box has a barrier that confines a gas to only one side of the box. The barrier springs a leak, allowing the gas to

flow and occupy both sides of the box. Which statement best describes the entropy of this system? A) The entropy is greater in the first state, with all the gas on one side of the box. B) The entropy is greater in the second state, with the gas on both sides of the box. C) The entropy is the same in both states, since no heat was added to the gas and its temperature did not change.

Answer:

B) The entropy is greater in the second state, with the gas on both sides of the box.

Explanation:

As we know that ,this is a irreversible process .The process leaves some effect on the surrounding or on the system itself ,is known as irreversible process.But on the other hand those process does not leave any effect on the system and surrounding is known as reversible process.

The entropy in the irreversible process always increases ,that is why the the entropy will be more when gas occupy the both boxes.

Therefore the answer is --B

In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each oth
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) The direction of the initial velocity of the first balloon is 18.5º

b) The initial speed of the second balloon is 19.1 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the vector position in a parabolic motion are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = vector position

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

a) At t = 1.80 s the vector r will be as shown in the figure (in yellow). The x-component of the vector r, rx, is 34.0 m and the y-component, ry, is -4.5 m. The reference system is located at the edge of the roof of the Jackson building.

Then, at 1.80 s, r will be:

r = (34.0 m, - 4.50 m)

Using the equations for each component we can obtain v0 and α:

Using the x- component:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α    

34.0 m = v0 · 1.80 s · cos α  (x0 = 0 because the origin of the reference system is located at the launching point)

34.0 m / (1.80 s · cos α) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-4.50 m = (34.0 m /cos α) · sin α + 1/2 · - (9.80 m/s²) · (1.80 s)²  

(sin α / cos α = tan α)

-4.50 m = 34.0 m · tan α - 1/2 · 9.80m/s² · (1.80 s)²  

solving for tan α

tan α = 0.334

α = 18.5º

The direction of the balloon´s initial velocity is 18.5º above the horizontal.

b) In green is the trajectory of the second balloon. r2 is the final vector of the second balloon and its components in x and y are 34 m and - 6 m (21 m- 15 m) respectively (see figure).

Then:

r2 = (34.0 m, - 6.00 m)   Now the reference system is located at the launching point of the second balloon.

We can proceed in the same way as in the point a) only that now we have the angle but do not have the time nor the initial velocity.

Using the equation of the x-component of vector r2:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

34.0 m = v0 · t · cos 18.5º

34.0 m /(t · cos 18.5º) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 34.0 m · tan 18.5º - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

-2 (-6.00 m - 34 m · tan 18.5º) /  9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 1.88 s

Then, the speed will be:  

v0 = 34.0 m /(1.88 s · cos 18.5º) = 19.1 m/s

Answer:

Chemical and Biological weathering.

Explanation:

Processes that break down and weaken earth minerals are known as weathering. Over time, this can lead to erosion, in which huge sections of rock and stone are carried away, changing landscapes. Physical weathering alters the material structure of rocks, while chemical weathering alters their chemical structure.

Can somebody help me with this i cannot learn it online, a walk through would be nice :)
Goryan [66]

Answer:

1. 5 V

2. A₂ = 1.2 A

Explanation:

1. Determination of the voltage measured at R₃.

Voltage at R₁ (V₁) = 1 V

Voltage at R₂ (V₂) = 6 V

Total voltage (Vₜ) = 12 V

Voltage at R₃ (V₃) =.?

Vₜ = V₁ + V₂ + V₃

12 = 1 + 6 + V₃

12 = 7 + V₃

Collect like terms

12 – 7 = V₃

V₃ = 5 V

Thus, the voltage measured at R₃ is 5 V

2. Determination of A₂.

From the circuit diagram, we can see that the resistors are in series arrangement. This means that the same current will pass through each resistor.

Thus,

A₂ = A₁ = 1.2 A

Elden [556K]

Answer;

1 second

Explanation;

Two objects moving at the same speed will always stay the same distance apart. If two objects are moving at different speeds, the distance between them must change.

Therefore; if the distance will be the same and the speed is also the same then the time taken will be the same.
