A sample of water is heated at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. Initially, the sample is ice at 260 K, and at the end the

sample consists of steam at 400 K. In which of the following 5K temperature intervals would there be the greatest increase in the entropy of the sample? Multiple Choice
a. from 360 K to 365 K
b. from 260 K to 265 K
c. from 370 K to 375 K
d. from 395 K to 400 K
e. from 275 K to 280 K

In <u>370 K to 375 K </u>temperature intervals of 5 K, would be the greatest increase in the entropy of the sample.

Option: C

<u>Explanation</u>:

Because the largest difference in molar entropy occurs when a condensed phase (solid/liquid) transforms to the gas phase. Then change in entropy is equal to heat transfer divided by temperature: \Delta \mathrm{S}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\mathrm{m} T}.

According to given ice sample at 260 K, when this solid sample start converting into liquid sample it will gain positive temperature and steam will take place near 373 K (273 K ice temperature + 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} temperature of boiling water). Therefore it’s very obvious that greatest increase in entropy will occur during 370 K – 375 K.

The stone's altitude at time t is given by

y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when y=0:

0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s

Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in a. vectors. b. scalars. c. vectors if multiplied or scalars if divided. d.
klemol [59]
Let A = i+j+k be a vector and B = 3 be any scalar, 
Multiplying A and B, 
AB = (i+j+k)3 = 3i+3j+3k 

Which is a new vector whose direction is same as the old but it's 3 times greater in length  than the old vector(i+j+k).

Now, dividing A and B,
A/B = (i+j+k)/3 = \frac{1}{3}i +  \frac{1}{3}j + \frac{1}{3}k

Which is again a new vector whose direction is same as the old but now it's 1/3 times small in length than the old vector. 

Direction is same because we multiplied by positive scalar. If we multiply A by suppose -1, -4, -1000000 or any negative number, it's direction will reverse. 

Thus, if we multiply a vector with scalar, it's length increases. If we divide, it shrinks.

A cubical box, 5.00 cm on each side, is immersed in a fluid. The gauge pressure at the top surface of the box is 594 Pa and the
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 5.00 cm

Pressure at top =594 Pa

Pressure at bottom = 1133 Pa

We need to calculate the change in pressure

Using formula of change in pressure

\Delta P=P_{b}-P_{t}

Where, P_{b} = Pressure at bottom

P_{t} = Pressure at top

put the value into the formula

\Delta P=1133-594

\Delta P=539\ Pa

Using formula of pressure for density

\Delta P = \rho g h

\rho =\dfrac{\Delta P}{gh}

Where, \rho = density

P = pressure

h = height

Put the value in to the formula

\rho =\dfrac{539}{5.00\times10^{-2}\times9.8}

\rho =1100\ kg/m^3

Hence, The density of the fluid is 1100 kg/m³.

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.
