Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 87GP

Predict/Calculate A small dish containing 530 g of water is placed outside for the birds. During the night the outside temperature drops to −5.0 °C and stays at that value for several hours. (a) When the water in the dish freezes at 0 °C, does its entropy increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (b) Calculate the change in entropy that occurs as the water freezes. (c) When the water freezes, by how much does the entropy of the environment increase? (d) What is the change in entropy of the universe as a result of this process?

Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.

2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).
