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

Marrrta [24]
F = m₁ a₁ = m₂ a₂

if m₁ = m and m₂ = 2m :

F = ma₁ = 2m  a₂ ⇒ a₁ = 2 a₂
 
since v = at + v₀  with t = 3, v₀ = 0 ⇒ v = 3a:

v₁ = 2 v₂

since p = vm with v₁ = 2v and v₂ = v :

p₁ = v₁m₁ = 2v ⁻ m
p₂ = v₂m₂ = v ⁻ 2m

p₁ = p₂

A gas cylinder at a pressure of 4408 torr contains a mixture of N2, O2, and helium gases. If the partial pressure of N2 gas is 1
inessss [21]

Answer:

P subscript 2 = 4408 - 1520 + 25

P subscript 2 = 4408 - 1545

P subscript 2 = 2863 torr

Partial Pressure for O2 = 2863 torr

Explanation:

In order to get the partial pressure for O2, you are expected to sum that of N2 and Helium then subtract it from the pressure of the gas cylinder
