A box of volume V has a movable partition separating it into two compartments. The left compartment contains 3000 particles, the

right one contains 1000 particles, and initially the partition is in the middle so that the compartments are of equal volume. The partition is released and slides horizontally until the system is in a new equilibrium state.
(a) In terms of V, what is the volume of each compartment once the new equilibrium state is reached?
(b) What is the change in the system’s entropy during this process?

Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V - 3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V be the volume of the box with two compartments

V1 is for the left compartment

V2 is for the right compartment

Momentum for the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum after the impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To find the volume of each compartment, V1 and V2, we note:

Momentum prior to impact = Momentum post-impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

Thus, V1 = (4000V - 1000V2)/3000 = 4V - V2/3

And V2 = (4000V - 3000V1)/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) The change in entropy, Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

Substituting for V1 and V2 gives:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

Results in 16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

Finally yielding Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Consider a 4-mg raindrop that falls from a cloud at a height of 2 km. When the raindrop reaches the ground, it won't kill you or
inna [987]

Answer:

The work performed by air resistance totals -0.0782 J

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the energy of a raindrop must remain constant.

At the outset, the raindrop possesses only gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the raindrop.

g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)

h = height.

Let's determine the initial potential energy of the raindrop:

(4 mg should be converted into kg: 4 mg · 1 kg / 1 × 10⁶ mg = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg)

PE = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · 9.8 m/s² · 2000 m

PE = 0.0784 J

As the raindrop descends, some of its potential energy converts into kinetic energy while the rest is lost to the air resistance. Upon reaching the ground, all initial potential energy has been either turned into kinetic energy or spent overcoming air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

Work by air = work done by air resistance.

The kinetic energy at ground level is computed as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass

v = velocity

<pThus:

KE = 1/2 · 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · (10 m/s)²

KE = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Now, we can find the work done by air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

0.0784 J = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J + Work by air

Work by air = 0.0784 J - 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Work by air = 0.0782 J

Since work is performed in the opposite direction to movement, this results in a negative value. Therefore, the work done by air resistance is -0.0782 J.

the flow energy of 124 L/min of a fluid passing a boundary to a system is 108.5 kJ/min. Determine the pressure at this point
serg [1189]

Answer:

The pressure measured at this moment is 0.875 mPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow energy = 124 L/min

Boundary to system P= 108.5 kJ/min

P=1.81\ kW

We are tasked with finding the pressure here

Applying the pressure formula

P=F\times v

P=A_{1}P_{1}\times v_{1}

Here, A_{1}v_{1}=Q_{1}

Where, v refers to velocity

Insert the values into the equation

1.81 =P_{1}\times0.124\times\dfrac{1}{60}

P_{1}=\dfrac{1.81\times60}{0.124}

P_{1}=875.80\ kPa

P_{1}=0.875\ mPa

Therefore, the pressure at this moment is 0.875 mPa

A pole-vaulter is nearly motionless as he clears the bar, set 4.2 m above the ground. he then falls onto a thick pad. the top of
Yuliya22 [1153]
Refer to the diagram below.

Ignoring air resistance, use gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter drops with an initial vertical speed u = 0.
At impact with the pad, velocity v satisfies:
v² = 2 × (9.8 m/s²) × (4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

As the pad compresses by 0.5 m to bring the vaulter to rest,
let the average acceleration (deceleration) be a m/s². Then:
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2 × a × 0.5 m
Solving for a gives:
a = - 82.32 / (2 × 0.5) = -82 m/s²

Thus, the deceleration magnitude is 82 m/s².

Use the formula t = (0.25) s1/2 to find the time t in seconds it will take a stone to drop a distance s of 200 feet. Round your
inna [987]

Answer:

The duration, t = 3.53 seconds

Explanation:

The following information is provided:

The equation to calculate the time t is expressed as:

t=(0.25)s^{1/2}...... (1)

Where

s denotes the distance in feet

We are to determine the duration taken by the stone to fall a distance of 200 feet, where s = 200 feet

Substituting the value of s into equation (1) yields:

t=(0.25)\times (200)^{1/2}

t = 3.53 seconds

Thus, the time taken by the object is 3.53 seconds, which provides the required answer.

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) La fuerza neta que actúa sobre la caja en la dirección vertical es:

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

aquí Fg representa la fuerza gravitacional, f es la fuerza de fricción, y Fp es la fuerza de empuje.

Fnet=ma

ma=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

​a=\frac{30-13-23*sin(45)}{3.1}

=0.24 m/s²

Vf =Vi +at

=0.48+0.24*2

Vf=2.98 m/s

b)

Fnet=Fg−f−Fp *sin45 °

=Fg−0.516Fp−Fp *sin45 °

=30-1.273Fp

Fnet=0 (Ya que la velocidad es constante)

Fp=30/1.273

=23.56 N
