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

7. A toy car of mass 1.2 kg is driving vertical circles inside a hollow cylinder of radius 2.0m. It is moving at a constant spee
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)

N_{top}=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=33.4N

b) v_{min}=4.4m/s

Explanation:

The net force on the car must produce the centripetal acceleration necessary to make this circle, which is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}. At the top of the circle, the normal force and the weight point downwards (like the centripetal force should), while at the bottom the normal force points upwards (like the centripetal force should) and the weight downwards, so we have (taking the upwards direction as positive):

-m\frac{v^2}{R}=-N_{top}-mg\\m\frac{v^2}{R}=N_{bottom}-mg

Which means:

N_{top}=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}-(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=m\frac{v^2}{R}+mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}+(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=33.4N

The limit for falling off would be N_{top}=0, so the minimum speed would be:

0=m\frac{v_{min}^2}{R}-mg\\v_{min}=\sqrt{Rg}=\sqrt{(2m)(9.8m/s^2)}=4.4m/s

fredd [130]

Answer:

t = 39.04 1010 year

Explanation:

This is a nuclear disintegration exercise that is governed by the equation.

     N = N0 e (-lam t)

The average life time is related to nuclear activity

      T ½ = ln 2 / lam

Let's use these two equations for exercise, let's start by finding nuclear activity

     Lam = ln 2 / T ½

     Lam = ln 2 / 4.9 10 10

    Lam = 0.14146 10-10 y-1

They tell us that the relationship atoms

      No / N = 0.0040

Let's look

       No / N = 1/0040

       N/No = 250                                                                                                                                                                                

Let's calculate the time

       (-lam t) = ln (N / No)

,        t = - 1 / lam ln (n / No)

        t = - 1 / 0.14146 10-10 ln (250)

        t = 39.04 1010 year
