What is the difference between elastic PE and gravitational PE?

2 answers:

7 0

Elastic potential energy is kind of like pulling on something and then letting it go, with rubber bands, or a bow, or a slingshot, something with elastic properties.
Gravitational potential energy has to do with how high something is, and has to do with earth’s gravitational pull.

Explain the forces that keep a rock balanced on a tiny pedestal. Please help me with this!

SashulF [63]

Normal force for the rock because that makes an object stable at its position.
static friction because micro-welts hold its particle on its position so it doesn't change in position by a potential energy. Gravity makes it stay on the ground because its force attraction between an object and the earth.
Hope this helps <span />

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of $32^{\circ}$ (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{1}$ denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let $v_{\text{air}}$ denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of $\theta_{1}$ to the normal and exited with an angle of $\theta_{\text{air}}$ . By Snell's Law, the sine of $\theta_{1}\!$ and $\theta_{\text{air}}\!$ would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}$ .

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle $\theta_{c}$ , total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now $90^{\circ}$ . (in this case, $\theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}$ .)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

$v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1})$ .

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For $0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}$ , $\sin(\theta)$ is monotonically increasing with respect to $\theta$ . In other words, for $\!\theta$ in that range, the value of $\sin(\theta)\!$ increases as the value of $\theta\!$ increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with $\theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}$ , the medium with the larger critical angle $\theta_{c} = 32^{\circ}$ would have a larger $\sin(\theta_{c})$ . such that light would travel faster in that medium.

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be:________

valentina_108 [34]

A process with a negative change in enthalpy and a negative change in entropy will generally be: <u>spontaneous</u>.

<h3>Gibbs free energy:</h3>

Since the Gibbs free energy is a parameter that tells us whether a chemical reaction is spontaneous (Gibbs free energy less than 0) or nonspontaneous (Gibbs free energy greater than 0) in this situation, we can describe it mathematically as:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Therefore, any process with a negative change in enthalpy and a positive change in entropy will be spontaneous. If the enthalpy and the entropy are both negative, the subtraction becomes always negative, for which the Gibbs free energy is also negative.

One of the most crucial thermodynamic functions for the characterization of a system is the Gibbs free energy. It influences results like the voltage of an electrochemical cell and the equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction, among others.
