An Isotope Separator. Hydrogen has three isotopes 'H (m1 = mp),
In this problem we will deal with simple thermodynamics model of a black hole. Assume
that the properties of a black hole depend only on the mass of the black hole.
(a) One characteristic of a black hole is the area of its event horizon. Roughly speaking,
the event horizon is the boundary of the black hole. Inside this boundary, the gravity
is so strong that even light cannot emerge from the region enclosed by the boundary.
We shall write A = G°c®m°. Use dimensional analysis to find a, ß , and y.
(b) One quantities in thermodynamics is entropy (S), that measure the disorder of a
system. The relationship between entropy S, energy E and temperature 0 of a
system is given as follow: = . For black holes, Bekenstein propose that the
entropy is proportional the area of the black hole's event horizon S = nA, where n
depends on c, k, G and h. Using dimensional analysis determine 7.
(c) With the previous results, determine the temperature of the black hole, as a function
of the mass. The energy…
A bag of frozen vegetables with temperature 32◦F is placed in a 75◦F room. After 20 minutes, the temperature of the vegetables has risen to 41◦F. Using this information, find an exponential formula for the temperature of the vegetables where time is measured in minutes. To find the exponential formula, transform the temperature into a new variable for which the problem can be solved as an exponential growth/decay problem. Then find the formula in that variable and transform back to temperature. Based on the formula, what is the temperature of the vegetables after 45 minutes?

- The Earth reradiates the energy it receives from the Sun as a black body. We can calculate the effective temperature of the Earth using the Stefan-Boltzmann equation F = sT4 where we solve for the Temperature T. We use for the energy flux the amount of energy absorbed per second Le divided by the Earth's surface area from which the energy is radiated 4pd2 so that the flux is = Le/(4pd2). Here d is the radius of the Earth given above and s is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. And the effective temperature is:Te4 = (Le/(4pd2))/s = Le/(4spd2) = __________________ K4and taking the square root of Te4 twice in succession we get the effective Temperature Te:Te = [Le/(4spd2)]0.25 = _________________ Kfor the temperature of the effective Earth.

In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules.
