I realize I didn't really add a point to the post haha, this is a problem from homework that I wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly. Because I did posted to another forum and they seemed to think that the original particle-in-a-box would decrease in energy and the entropy would...
It is interesting to consider why sufficiently slow work does not tend to increase entropy. We can model atoms as a collection of quantum particle-in-a-box’s; Compression work will tend to squeeze the size of these quantum boxes, reducing L.
Now, suppose instead that you left this quantum...
Homework Statement
Ex. 2. Express each of the following by an equation:
(a) Two vectors A and B are parallel.
(b) Three vectors A, B and C are co-planar.
Homework Equations
C = A + B
3. The Attempt at a Solution
I understand (a) the answer being B = (alpha)*A because that is a scalar...
