a) Consider an ideal gas in a container with a frictionless piston. The gas is isothermally compressed at 26 degrees

Celsius as 940 Joules of work is done on it. Determine the resulting change in entropy of the gas, the change in entropy

of the environment and the universe. (assume the temperature of the environment is a constant 22 Celsius)

b) 20 grams of ice at 0 Celsius melt while being left at room temperature of 22 Celsius. After melting, its temperature

rises to 22 Celsius. Determine the resulting change in entropy of the gas, the change in entropy of the environment and

the universe.

c) If you are rolling a pair of dice, what is the entropy of the mactrostate 2, macrostate 5, and macrostate 7? Imagine a

pair of dice starts with a macrostate of 2 and then you roll it 5 times and get the following results: 5, 9, 7, 3, 8. What is

the resulting change of the entropy of the universe for each roll and for all 5 rolls put together?

Answers should be:

a) ΔSgas = -3.14 Joule/K, ΔSenvironment = +3.18 Joule/K, ΔSuniverse = +.04 Joule/K

b) ΔSice = +30.9 Joule/K, ΔSenvironment = -28.8 Joule/K, ΔSuniverse = +2.1 Joule/K

c) S2 = 0, S5 = kln4, S7 = kln6

ΔS1 = kln4, ΔS2 = 0, ΔS3 = kln(1.5), ΔS4 = -kln3, ΔS5 = kln(2.5), ΔStot = kln5

A beam of white light (400 – 700 nm) is shone at a small equilateral quartz prism. 1.5 m behind the prism is a large screen. What is observed on the screen, and where, if (A) the beam is incident on a vertex of the prism, and (B) if the beam is incident normal to one of the faces? Assume both the prism and the width of the beam are non-zero but negligible relative to the prism-screen distance. The index of refraction of quartz for 400 nm light is 1.47 and it is 1.45 for 700 nm light.

Please answer part B numerically, many answers are claiming the screen would show white light in part B. However, wouldn't the beam pass following the normal when entering, however diffract when exiting the prism?

Learning Goal: To practice Problem Solving Strategy 37.3 Lorentz Transformations. An enemy spaceship is moving toward your starfighter with a speed of 0.400 c , as measured in your reference frame. The enemy ship fires a missile toward you at a speed of 0.700 c relative to the enemy ship. If you measure the enemy ship to be 1.00×107 km away from you when the missile is fired, how much time t, measured in your frame, will it take for the missile to reach you?

Part D

Suppose that the missile has an internal clock that is turned on when the missile is fired. What time t∗ would the clock show just before the missile hits your startfighter?

Express your answer in seconds to three significant figures.

Derive an expression for the instantaneous voltage across the capacitor. Express your answer in terms of the variables C, R, I0, and t.

My previous answers that were incorrect: 1) VC=I0*Cos(omega*t)*R (Response was that the answer doesn't depend on (omega*t) 2)Vc=I0*Cos((1/RC)*t)*R (Response was Incorrect; Try Again; One attempt remaining You have found the voltage across the resistor. Note that the current and voltage across the capacitor are out of phase.)

Previous question info:

Part A) A 300 Ω resistor is connected in series with a 50 mH inductor. The voltage across the resistor is vR=(1.20V)cos(2500rad/s)t. Find the amplitude of the voltage across the inductor.

Part B) What should multiply the amplitude to obtain an expression for the instantaneous voltage vL across the inductor?

Part C) The current through a series combination of a capacitor C and resistor R is given by I0cos(ωt), where ω is chosen so that the reactance of the capacitor is equal to the resistance R. Derive an expression for ω.

Thank you
