    Change in entropy when mixing cold and hot water

    So then i have: $$ \Delta S = \int_{T_0}^{T_1} \frac{cm}{T}dT = cm(ln(T_1)-ln(T_0)) $$ now when i compute ##\Delta S## for cold and hot $$ \Delta S_{\text{total}} = cm(ln(T_n)-ln(T_H)+ln(T_c)-ln(T_n)) = cm(ln(T_c)-ln(T_h)) $$ Where ## T_n ## is temperature at balanced state. Now ##\Delta...

    Change in entropy when mixing cold and hot water

    ## \int \frac{dQ}{T} = \int \frac{mc}{T}dT ## ?

    Change in entropy when mixing cold and hot water

    Well $$ T = \frac{dQ}{dS} \implies dT = d(\frac{dQ}{dS}) $$ Not quite sure how I would do this? (this one probably not even in right direction)

    Change in entropy when mixing cold and hot water

    $$ S = \int \frac{1}{T}dQ $$ but what from now? this equation has ## \Delta T ## but not T $$ Q = cm \Delta T $$ I think I want ## T(Q) ## so I can integrate this properly?

    Change in entropy when mixing cold and hot water

    I tried following: $$ dS_{\text{total}} = |\frac{dQ}{T_c}| |\frac{dQ}{T_H}| $$ where ## T_h ## is temperature of hot water and ## T_c ## is temperature of cold water. Coefficient for water wasn't provided in the assignment so i used following value c = 4190 J/kgK. $$ dS_{\text{total}} =...

    Internal energy in ideal gas

    I have the definition of change in internal energy. $$ \Delta U = Q - W $$ I can get the work by $$ W = \int_{V_1}^{V_2} p dV = p \Delta V $$ however the pressure isn't constant so this won't do. ## W ## is work done by the gas and ## Q ## is amount of heat energy brought into the system. I'm...

    Thermal balance in calorimeter after adding lead

    Any ideas on how i could formulate this into equation? Could you give a hint? I don't know how i can form equation with final temperature?

    Thermal balance in calorimeter after adding lead

    Since ΔT is change in temperature, the container and it's contents and the led most have same temperature difference when the led is added. I tried by assuming that energy released by the led is same as the amount that container and it's contents absorb. Meaning Q1-Q2 = 0 => Q1 = Q2. $$ \Delta...

    Derive thermal expansion of area from length

    I tried following: $$ \Delta l = \alpha l_0 \Delta T $$ $$ (\Delta l)^2 l_0 = \alpha l_0^2 \Delta T \Delta l $$ $$ \Delta A l_0 = \alpha A_0 \Delta T $$ $$ \Delta A = \frac{ \alpha A_0 \Delta T }{ l_0 } $$ If we remember that: $$ \Delta l = \alpha l_0 \Delta T $$ So we have $$ \Delta A = \frac{...

    Maximum height for water from a fire hose

    I tried Bernoulli's equation and ended up with this. $$ p_1 + \frac{1}{2}pv^2_1 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}pv_2^2 $$ Speed can be expressed as $$ v = \frac{Q}{\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2} $$ $$ \implies v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{p_1-p_2}{\rho}+(\frac{Q}{(\frac{d}{2})}^2 \pi)^2\cdot 2} $$ when i compute with numbers i...

    Buoyancy of a submarine

    Yes i think it's suppose to be 1.03*10^3 kg/m³. There is mistake in the description of the assignment.

    Buoyancy of a submarine

    The deeper you go the greater the pressure caused by water is. More water above submarine => greater pressure. I don't see how this would affect the buoyancy of the submarine? The force caused by pressure is distributed evenly on top, bottom and sides of the submarine, meaning the sum of the...

    How much work is done when a satellite is launched into orbit?

    Yes, I can get the correct answer by adding kinetic energy from the speed $$ E_{kinetic} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 $$ to the potential energy I already computed. I wonder if it would be possible to derive the work required to accelerate an object to a given speed (when mass is known) starting from...
