Answer:
<h3>62.5N</h3>
Explanation:
The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.
Pressure = Force/Area
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Given
F1 = 250N
A1 = 2.0m²
A2 = 0.5m²
F2 = ?
Substituting the given values in the formula;
250/2 = F2/0.5
cross multiply
250*0.5 = 2F2
125 = 2F2
F2 = 125/2
F2 = 62.5N
Hence the force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N
Answer:
1.85 J/K
Explanation:
The computation of total change in entropy is shown below:-
Change in Entropy = Sum Q ÷ T
= 
= -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.
Answer:A
Explanation:matter normally occurs in three phases;solid, liquid and gases. They may change from one phase to another due to temperature difference.
The molecules that makes up solids are held together by bonds. When heat is added,the molecules begin to move as a result,the bonds break and it turns to liquid.this process is called melting. The reverse of melting is freezing.
Liquid are made up of molecules that moves more freely than solids. When heat is added to liquid,the molecules gain more energy and begins to move faster. This causes them to turn to gases.
This process is called evaporation. It occurs at different temperature for different substances.
The particles of gases move more faster and are separated by large distances. A gas can change back to a liquid through condensation.
