Entropy Increasing Solar Solar system System

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the increasing entropy of the solar system, with participants emphasizing the need for more detailed information to facilitate meaningful responses. It highlights the importance of adhering to forum guidelines and making an effort to explore the topic. The conversation suggests that without a clear attempt at a solution or specific questions, assistance may be limited. Overall, the increase in entropy relates to the natural progression of energy dispersal and disorder within the solar system. Engaging with the topic more deeply is encouraged for better insights.

You should put more information in your post if you want people to help you. We have to follow the guidelines too and if you don't show an attempt at the solution then we can't help. Unless this was just a general question, in which case my apologies.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
