Consider the coin diagram. We see that for the ‘four heads’ state, there are w = 1 microstates. For this question, we will call ‘two heads, two tails’ state 1, and ‘one head, three tails’ state 2. a) For state 1, find w.
b) What is the entropy of the system for state 1?
c) What is the entropy of the system for state 2?
d) Imagine now that we throw the coins and they land in state 1. We then rearrange them into state 2.
i. What is the change in entropy here?
ii. Which law does this violate?
iii. What went wrong? What must we also consider?

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
