Relating physics forces and entropy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between potential energy, kinetic energy, and mass in the context of proton and electron interactions. When these particles are released, the decrease in potential energy translates into kinetic energy, but they lose some of this energy through electromagnetic radiation, leading to a decrease in mass rather than an increase. The concept of entropy is introduced, suggesting that accelerating particles increases entropy by dispersing energy, but it is clarified that entropy is not directly relevant to this scenario. Participants emphasize that binding energy and mass-energy equivalence are key concepts to understand in this context. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexities of energy transformations and the misinterpretation of entropy in relation to particle dynamics.

Consider proton and electron are separated in space at some finite distance.Now suppose they released then the decrease in potential energy equals kinetic energy but as electrons or protons are accelerated they emit em and lose some gained kinetic energy.Also the mass is another form of energy.So there will be increase in mass.Can anyone relate all quantities.And i write entropy above because i thought the forces can exert on particles to accelerate them only becuse by doing so they increase entropy by dispersing energy in space with em waves and thus decreasing energy density am i right?

It's a decrease in mass, not an increase; the particles have given up energy and hence mass when radiation is emitted. Google for "binding energy" and you'll find more.

Entropy is something completely different, isn't involved in this problem at all.
 
people made entropy disconnected i thought it is one of the basic property of universe
 
I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
