(a) The work done by the gas during the isothermal expansion is -25.6 J.

(b) The heat added to the gas during this process is 25.6 J.

<h3>Net work done by the ideal gas against the external pressure</h3>

The net work done by the ideal gas in the isothermal expansion is calculated as follows;

W(net) = ΔP x ΔV

W(net) = ( 1 kPa - 5 kPa) x (8L - 1.6 L)

W(net) = -25.6 kPa.L

W(net) = -25.6 J

<h3>Head added to the gas</h3>

The heat added to the gas is calculated as follows;

W = -Q

-25.6 J = -Q

Q = 25.6 J

Can someone explain what is loss of seismic energy ?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Seismic attenuation describes the energy loss experienced by seismic waves as they propagate. It is controlled by the temperature, composition, melt content, and volatile content of the rocks through which the waves travel.

A ball is launched vertically with an initial speed of y˙0= 50 m/s, and its acceleration is governed by y¨=-g-cDy˙2, where the a

stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

$a=-g-c_Dv^2$

where $\ddot{y}=a$

$\dot{y}=v$

Also acceleration is given by

$a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}$

$ds=\frac{v}{a}dv$

$\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv$

$\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t$

$-0.001\times 2vdv=dt$

$vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}$

$at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2$

$t=-g-2.5$

at $v=0,\ t=-g$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})$

$s=113.608\ m$

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

$h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}$

$h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=127.55\ m$

Set the radius to 2.0 m and the velocity to 1.0 m/s. Keeping the radius the same, record the magnitude of centripetal accelerati

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$a=4\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius, r = 2 m

Velocity, v = 1 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2}{1}\\\\=4\ m/s^2$

So, the magnitude of centripetal acceleration is $4\ m/s^2$ .

A light wave passes through an aperture (that is, a narrow slit). When it does so, the degree to which the wave spreads out will

crimeas [40]

Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.
