$E_{total} = KE + PE \\ KE = 500 J \\ PE = 1500 J \\ E_{total} = 500J + 1500J \\ E_{total} = 2000J$

What is a possible explination for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinent in the paleozoic era melted?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

dolphi86 [110]

Newton's third law of motion states that for any action, there is equal and opposite force. For a person standing on a floor, the action force is the weight and thus the floor must exert an opposite and equal reaction force equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the person.

In this regard, statement 3. is correct.

2. One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes a reversible expansion at constant pressure, during which the entropy of the gas

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The initial and final temperatures of the gas is 300 K and 600 K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Entropy of the gas = 14.41 J/K

Absorb gas = 6236 J

We know that,

$ds=\dfrac{dQ}{dt}$

At constant pressure,

$dQ=C_{p}dt$

$\Delta s=\int_{T_{1}}^{T_{2}}{\dfrac{C_{p}dT}{T}}$

$\Delta s=C_{p}ln\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

Put the value into the formula

$14.41=2.5\times8.3144(ln\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}})$

$\dfrac{14.41}{2.5\times8.3144}=ln\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$0.693=ln\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$ln2=ln\dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$T_{2}=2T_{1}$ ...(I)

We need to calculate the initial and final temperatures of the gas

Using formula of energy

$\Delta Q=C_{p}\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$6236=2.5\times8.3144(T_{2}-T_{1})$

$6236=20.786(T_{2}-T_{1})$

$T_{2}-T_{1}=\dfrac{6236}{20.786}$

$T_{2}-T_{1}=300$

Put the value of T₂

$2T_{1}-T_{1}=300$

$T_{1}=300\ K$

Put the value of T₁ in equation (I)

$T_{2}=2\times300$

$T_{2}=600\ K$

Hence, The initial and final temperatures of the gas is 300 K and 600 K.
