Assume that the speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of 18.0 m/s. A car is moving at a constant speed of 14.0 m

/s along a straight road. A home owner sitting on his porch sees the car pass between two telephone poles in 8.89 s. How much time does the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles?

Answer:

Observed time, t = 5.58 s  

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of, c = 18 m/s

Speed of car, v = 14 m/s along a straight road.

A home owner sitting on his porch sees the car pass between two telephone poles in 8.89 s.

We need to find the time the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles. The relation between real and observed time is given by :

T=\dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} }

t is observed time.

t=T\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} \\\\t=8.89\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{14^2}{18^2}} \\\\t=5.58\ s

So, the time observed by the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles is 5.58 seconds.

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.
