Physics
1 answer:
Burka [1]3 years ago
5 0

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Step A:</h3>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2

V_2 = 10 \div 3

V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)

W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)

W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Step B:</h3>

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

P_2V_2 = P_3V_3

3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3

V_3 = 10 \div 2

V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)

W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})

W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

W = W_A + W_B

W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}

\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

\Delta U = Q + W

0 = Q + (-743)

\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

about how much more energy is released in a 6.5 richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

For example, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 releases about 32 times as much energy as an earthquake measuring 4.5. Another way to look at this is that it takes about 900 magnitude 4.5 earthquakes to equal the energy released in a single 6.5 earthquake.

A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providi
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The sled required 9.96 s to travel down the slope.

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a description of the problem. In red are the x and y-components of the gravity force (Fg). Since the y-component of Fg (Fgy) is of equal magnitude as Fn but in the opposite direction, both forces get canceled.

Then, the forces that cause the acceleration of the sled are the force of the wind (Fw), the friction force (Ff) and the x-component of the gravity force (Fgx).

The sum of all these forces make the sled move. Finding the resulting force will allow us to find the acceleration of the sled and, with it, we can find the time the sled travel.

The magnitude of the friction force is calculated as follows:

Ff = μ · Fn

where :

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fn =  normal force

The normal force has the same magnitude as the y-component of the gravity force:

Fgy = Fg · cos 30º = m · g · cos 30º

Where

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Then:

Fgy = m · g · cos 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · cos 30º

Fgy = 744 N

Then, the magnitude of Fn is also 744 N and the friction force will be:

Ff = μ · Fn = 0.151 · 744 N = 112 N

The x-component of Fg, Fgx, is calculated as follows:

Fgx = Fg · sin 30º = m·g · sin 30º = 87.7 kg · 9.8 m/s² · sin 30º = 430 N

The resulting force, Fr, will be the sum of all these forces:

Fw + Fgx - Ff = Fr

(Notice that forces are vectors and the direction of the friction force is opposite to the other forces, then, it has to be of opposite sign).

Fr = 161 N + 430 N - 112 N = 479 N

With this resulting force, we can calculate the acceleration of the sled:

F = m·a

where:

F = force

m = mass of the object

a = acceleration

Then:

F/m = a

a = 479N/87.7 kg = 5.46 m/s²

The equation for the position of an accelerated object moving in a straight line is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Since the sled starts from rest and the origin of the reference system is located where the sled starts sliding, x0 and v0 = 0.

x = 1/2· a ·t²

Let´s find the time at which the position of the sled is 271 m:

271 m = 1/2 · 5.46 m/s² · t²

2 · 271 m / 5.46 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 9.96 s </u>

The sled required almost 10 s to travel down the slope.

What is the difference between charging by contact and charging by induction in terms of electron transfer.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

the main difference between charging by contact and charging by induction is that in the first case, the two objects are touching, while in the second case, the two objects do not touch

Explanation:

There are three methods of charging an object:

- Charging by friction: this is done by rubbing an object against another object. An example is when a plastic rod is rubbed with a wool cloth. When this is done, electrons are transferred from the wool to the rod, so both objects remain charged at the end of the process

- Charging by contact: this is done by putting in contact a charged object with a neutral, conducting object. In this case, the charges are transferred from the charged object to the neutral object; at the end of the process, the neutral object will also have a net electric charge, so it will be also charged.

- Charging by induction: in this case, we take a charged object, and a neutral object, and we place the two objects close to each other, but without touching. Let's assume that the charged object is negatively charged: in this case, the positive charges in the neutral object are attracted towards the negative charges of the charged object, while the negative charges of the neutral object are repelled away. As a result, the positive and negative charges in the neutral object split apart. If the object is connected to the ground, then negative charges move away, so the neutral object will remain positively charged.

Therefore, the main difference between charging by contact and charging by induction is that in the first case, the two objects are touching, while in the second case, the two objects do not touch.

What is the restoring force of a pendulum
salantis [7]

Answer:

the Restoring force causes the vibrating object to go slower going further from the equilibrium position and to go faster as it approaches the equilibrium position. the restoring force is what is causing the vibration The tension force comes from the string tugging on the bob of the pendulum.
