A system consists of molecules that convert between two colors (green and yellow). There are spaces for 10,000 molecules, but there are only 6000 molecules in the system. The system starts in a state with 2000 green molecules and 4000 yellow molecules. What is the entropy of the system? (Hint: Use Stirling’s approximation.)

What are the differences and similarities of a compression wave and a transverse wave?

When you push downward on a book at rest on a table, you feel an upward force. does this force depend on friction? defend your answer.

Balloon a has charge q, and identical mass balloon b has charge 10q. you hang them from threads near each other. choose all of the statements with which you agree. check all that apply. a. a and b exert the same magnitude forces on each other. b. the force that a exerts on b is 10 times the force that b exerts on a. c. the angle between the thread supporting a and the vertical is < the angle between the thread supporting b and the vertical. d. the force that a exerts on b is 1/10 the force that b exerts on a.
