A closed system consisting of 4 lb of gas undergoes a process in which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = constan

t. The process begins with p1 = 15 psi, v1 = 1.25 ft3/lb and ends with p2 = 53 psi and v2 = 0.5 ft3/lb. Determine: a) the volume in ft3 occupied by the gas at states 1 and 2, and b) the value of n.

Answer:

V1=5<u>ft3</u>

<u>V2=2ft3</u>

n=1.377

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=4lb*1.25ft3/lb=5<u>ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=4lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 2ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/53)/ ln (2/5)

n=1.377

How do we maintain heat in our body ?​
zysi [14]

Answer:

When heat activates sweat glands, these glands bring that water, along with the body's salt, to the surface of the skin as sweat. Once on the surface, the water evaporates. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.

Explanation:

The system can respond to internal and external influences and make adjustments to keep your body within a degree or two of your normal. The hypothalamus and your autonomic nervous system work with your skin, sweat glands, muscles and even your blood vessels to keep your temperature normal. As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. Some nuts like peanuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, and dates are also beneficial in winter. These nuts speed up your metabolism and increase your body temperature, eventually making you feel hot.

Which is an example of radioactivity that occurs when a neutron is converted to a proton and an electron is emitted from the nuc
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Beta minus decay

Explanation:

Beta decay is due to a weak nuclear interaction, it takes place in the atomic nucleus and occurs when a neutron is converted to a proton, or a proton into a neutron. When a neutron is converted to a proton an electron and an electronic antineutrino are emitted from the nucleus, this is called beta minus decay.

What happens to the distance between interference fringes if the separation between two slits is increased?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

It will decrease

Explanation:

The double-slit interference equation, which gives us the position y of a maximum on the screen (measured relative to the central position), is

y=\frac{n\lambda D}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

D is the distance between the slits and the screen

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

d is the separation between the two slits

From the formula, we see that y is inversely proportional to d: this means that if the separation between the slits is increased, the distance of each maximum from the central position (y) decreases, therefore the distance between the interference fringes will decrease.
