A basic state, also know as Microstate, is amount of distinguishable particles in a system. Whereas the Macrostate is in a larger scale in describing it by its properties, volume, pressure, temperature, etc.
Homework Statement
Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states be given by specifying the octant in which each particle is located.
1. How many basic states are there?
2. The door to this room is opened...

You would like to put a solar hot water system on your roof, but you're not sure it's feasible. A reference book on solar energy shows that the ground-level solar intensity in your city is 750 W/m^2 for at least 5 hours a day throughout most of the year.
Assuming that a...

Homework Statement
A hollow stirrer that has a diameter of 2.0 mm is inserted into a cup of water at 20∘C. The surface tension of water at that temperature is γ(surface tension) = 7.28×10−2 N/m.
What is the mass of the water supported by the surface tension in the stirrer?
Given:
d=2 mm...
I am currently a freshman majoring in physics. My professor recommended me using MatLab for computations, but I'm not sure how to teach myself. Next quarter I will be taking Computer science, I think they will be learning C++ ( I do have a bit of experience with C++ and python). I want to learn...
Hello, I am currently a freshman majoring in physics. I am having trouble trying to understand the concepts of the chapters. I understand the basics, but I just need that extra push to do harder problems. I am currently learning classical mechanics next quarter I will be learning...
2500 and below. I'm not sure if this is a good price range because their are a lot of expensive telescopes with good quality. I think this might get me decent telescope. Deep sky objects. Thank you.
I live where there is some considerable amount of light pollution, not too much. I was planning to buy one and go to a more excluded area. Wow, this is extremely helpful! Thank you!
Hello,
I am currently considering on buying a telescope to do some of my own research and for sight seeing. Any recommendations? I would prefer to have a telescope that requires me to use code or at least a computer so I can familiarize myself with the mechanics.
Hello, I'm new here so forgive me for my ignorance. I am currently a freshman majoring in Physics. I am having trouble trying to understand the concepts in my physics class. In high school I took precalculus and regular physics. My physics teacher was good, but had some trouble expressing his...
