Three kilograms of argon (Ar) changes from an initial volume and a temperature of 298K to (a) four times the volume and a temper

ature of 298K and (b) one fourth the original volume under adiabatic conditions. In each case: Calculate the amount of work performed. Is the work done by the system or the surroundings? (pl/, for monatomic gases is 1.667)

Answer:

Explanation:

3 kg = 3 / 40 = .075 moles = n

a ) Since the gas is expanding isothermally ( temperature being constant )

work done by the gas

= 2.303 n RT log V₂ / V₁

Here V₂ / V₁ = 4 , T = 298

Put these values in the equation above ,

work done = .075x 2.303 x 8.312 x 298 log 4

= 257.6 J

b) In adibatic change

pv^\gamma = constant

T V^{\gamma-1} = constant

T₁ / T₂ = (\frac{V_2}{V_1}  )^{\gamma-1}

298 / T₂ = ( 4)^{1.667-1}

T₂ = 751.26 K.

In adiabatic change work done

= n R ( T₁ - T₂) / (γ -1)

.075x 8.312 X ( 751 - 298 ) / .667

= 423.38. J

Vitek1552 [10]

Mass of the object m = 25 kg

Coefficient of friction Uk = 0.15

Frictional force Ff = Uk x F => Ff = Uk x m x g

Ff = 0.15 x 25 x 9.8

Frictional Force Ff = 36.75 N

At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²

A Carnot engine has a power output of 150 kW. The engine operates between two reservoirs at 20.0°C and 500°
Nookie1986 [14]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>
