    Optics - spherical and plane mirror

    Homework Statement A convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 24.0 cm is placed 22.0 cm to the left of a plane mirror. An object 0.300 cm tall is placed midway between the surface of the plane mirror and the vertex of the spherical mirror. The spherical mirror forms multiple...

    Calculating Amplitude in Simple Harmonic Motion

    I have encountered two separate review problems that have to do with finding a value for amplitude and I am really struggling with it. 1. Homework Statement Question 1- A mass of 3kg is free to move on a horizontal frictionless surface and attached to a spring of k=15 N/m. It is displaced...

    Solve Entropy Gen of Water-Ice Contact, 100J Transferred

    Thanks so much I think I have made sense of it and the concepts make sense to me, however, working through this I am getting results that are almost trivial - i.e. only 0.0003 kg of ice melts, the temp of the initial water remains practically unchanged and as a result of the mass of the new...

    Solve Entropy Gen of Water-Ice Contact, 100J Transferred

    Homework Statement 5 kg of water at 60 degrees are put in contact with 1 kg of ice at 0 degrees and are thermally isolated from everything else. The latent heat of ice is 3.3x105 J/kg. What is the change of entropy of the universe when 100J of energy are transferred from the water to the ice...
