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>

A 438kg car is accelerating east at 2.55m/s^2. What is the total force acting east on the car
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

<h2>1116.9 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 438 × 2.55

We have the final answer as

<h3>1116.9 N</h3>

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0
Vlada [557]
Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2

IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

138.6 megacalculations

Explanation:

This is a pretty straightforward one.

All it needs is to convert the degree of measurement.

Dimensions in physics are attributed names, which state the power to which they're are raised. Just as how

Kilo and Mega means the numbers are raised to the power of 3 and 6 respectively. There also exists the ones that indicates how small, such as milli and micro, which are to the powers of -3 & -6.

The question says the IBM computer calculates at an astonishing 136.8 teracalculations.

Tera in physics means it's raised to the power of 12. Thus, the IBM calculates at an astonishing rate of

136.8*10^12 calculations per second.

We're then asked how many calculations it does in 1 micro second. Like I had highlighted earlier, 1 micro second is 1 raised to the power of -6. Or succinctly put,

1 micro second = 1*10^-6.

If the IBM does

138.6*10^12 = 1 second,

Then it does

x = 1*10^-6 second.

When we cross multiply, we have

138.6*10^12 * 1*10^-6, and that is

138.6*10^6 calculations, or say, 138.6 megacalculations.

The IBM does 138.6 megacalculations in 1 micro second, which is still astonishing, by the way
