In prob. 8–21, assume that the heat is transferred from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir contrary to the clausius statement of the second law. prove that this violates the increase of entropy principle—as it must according to clausius.

Light traveling in water, nwater = 1.33, strikes a plastic block at an angle of incidence of 51.4°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. if the index of refraction of the plastic is 2.0, what is the angle made by the reflected and refracted beams?

Aball with a mass of 275 g is dropped from rest, hits the floor and rebounds upward. if the ball hits the floor with a speed of 2.40 m/s and rebounds with a speed of 1.70 m/s, determine the following. (a) magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum (let up be in the positive direction.)
