Answer:

Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L

Explanation:

From first Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

ΔQ = ΔU + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat absorbed by the system = 52.5 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy = -102.5 J (negative sign shows decrease in internal energy of the system)

W = Work Done in Expansion by the system = ?

Therefore,

52.5 J = - 102.5 J + W

W = 52.5 J + 102.5 J

W = 155 J

Now, the work done in a constant pressure condition is given by:

W = PΔV

W = P(Vf - Vi)

where,

P = Constant Pressure = (0.5 atm)(101325 Pa/1 atm) = 50662.5 Pa

Vf = Final Volume of System = (58 L)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 0.058 m³

Vi = Initial Volume of System = ?

Therefore,

155 J = (50662.5 Pa)(0.058 m³ - Vi)

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 155 J/50662.5 Pa

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 0.003 m³

<u>Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L</u>

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force tomove an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of2.4 m/s. You then lo
IgorC [24]

ANSWER:

F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N

V is Speed = 2.4 m/s

The total weight increase by 42%

coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%

Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0

Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.

F(h) = F(f)

F(h) = mg* u

m is mass

g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

200 = mg*u

Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%

New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)

New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u

F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)

       = (0.81) (1.42) (200)

       = 230 N

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi
tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the  current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.
