A. is the right answer since work is negative and Q which is heat in negative also

Blizzard [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Now, i will consider that W and A refers to the work and heat done/applied to the system  

Always Q is related to the heat, so if Q is positive this means that the temperature of the system increase if Q is negative this means that heat is extracted from the system, and the temperature decreases, which implies that the motion of the particles decreases.

For the work is the same, if the applied work is positive, then the energy of the system increments (suppose a gas inside a piston, if you compress the piston the work is positive, and now the particles are close together, wich increments the temperature of the gas)

If the work is negative, this means that the system does the work, so the energy decreases, and also the motion of the particles, so the correct option A

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

<u>So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.</u>

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

How to describe electric current as the flow of electrons
givi [52]
An electric current is a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionised gas (plasma).

A woman is conquering her fear of heights by going bungee jumping. She has a mass of 90 kg. She falls from the tower for a few s
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

weight of woman acting downwards = 90 x 10 = 900 N

force by bungee cord in upward direction = 500 N

net force = 900 - 500 = 400 N in downward direction

acceleration in downward direction

= 400 / 90

= 4.44 m /s²
