A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 563 K, and r

eservoir 2 is at a temperature of 354 K. Compute the total change in entropy arising from the conduction of 1760 J of heat through the wire. Please give your answer in units of J/K.

Answer:

1.85 J/K

Explanation:

The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-

Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T

= \frac{-heat\ entering\ the\ reservoir}{Reservoir\ 1\ Temperature} + \frac{Conduction\ of\ heat}{Reservoir\ 2\ Temperature}

= \frac{-1760}{563} + \frac{1760}{354}

= -3.12 + 4.97

= 1.85 J/K

Therefore for computing the total change in entropy we simply applied the above formula.

As we can see that there is heat entering the reservoir so it will be negative while cold reservoir will be positive else the process would be impossible.

Whenever possible, these types of power plants should be built because they generate virtually no pollution. (2 points)
geniusboy [140]
Wind farms, solar collectors, and nuclear power plants generate no pollution.

But wind farms make noise, wind and solar are both hazardous to birds, and there's no known means of disposing of nuclear plant waste that's completely safe.

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With  

Find:-

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Pls how to solve this problem. help would be appreciated ​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

80 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5 m/s²

v = 0 m/s

Δx = 640 m

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-5 m/s²) (640 m)

v₀ = 80 m/s

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able
vovangra [49]

Answer:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is 5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }. We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }. Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 } this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 } cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C
