Which of the following is not a major reason why astronomers would like an observatory on the far side of the Moon?
A) Telescopes on the Moon could see objects in all parts of the sky equally well, whereas telescopes on Earth can see only portions of the sky that depend on their latitude. B) Radio astronomy would be advantageous on the Moon because human radio transmissions are less likely to cause interference, especially on the far side of the Moon. C) It would be possible to put telescopes for ultraviolet and X-ray astronomy on the surface, unlike the case on the surface of the Earth. D) Telescopes on the Moon could observe stars even when it is daytime on the Moon.

A cylinder containing an ideal gas has a volume of 3.0 m3 and a pressure of 1.0 × 10^5 Pa at a temperature of 300 K. The cylinder is placed against a metal block that is maintained at 900 K and the gas expands as the pressure remains constant until the temperature of the gas reaches 900 K. The change in internal energy of the gas is 9.0 × 10^5 J. Find the change in entropy of the block
associated with the heat transfer to the gas. a. 0 c. -1700 J/K b. +670 J/K d. -1100 J/K
