What is the entropy of a closed system in which 28 distinguishable grains of sand are distributed among 1000 distinguishable equ

baherus [9]

Answer:

193.4 J/K

Explanation:

For a closed system, the entropy is given as the natural logarithm of microstates.

The number of particles ( grains of sand ) N = 28

The number of boxes ( compartments ) M = 1000

Entropy is the logarithm of number of microstates

$S=ln \psi$

But the number of microstates is given by

$\psi=M^{N} hence S=ln M^{N}=\ln (1000^{28})= \boxed{193.4 J/K}$

Light with a wavelength of 700 nm (7×〖10〗^(-7) m) is incident upon a double slit with a separation of 0.30 mm (3 x 10-4 m). A sc

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$0.0035\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

y = Distance from the center point

d = Separation between slits = 0.3 mm

D = Distance between slit and screen = 1.5 m

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 700 nm

m = Order = 1

We have the relation

$d\dfrac{y}{D}=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{Dm\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1.5\times 1\times 700\times 10^{-9}}{0.3\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow y=0.0035\ \text{m}$

The distance from the screen at which the first bright fringe beyond the center fringe appear is $0.0035\ \text{m}$ .

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

Answer:

A. -30 N

Explanation:

not sure but if the box isn't moving then the force opposite of Polly would be equal to the force she's exerting.
