In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas

. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

Answer:

The value of change in internal l energy of the gas = 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

hope this helps

I'm completely lost in physics, the Kinematics and dynamics units.. My exam is coming up.. If a biker travelling at 6.4m/s sees
Alexeev081 [22]
D=rt
when biker A catches biker B, the time they've been riding is the same, so 
t=t, or d/r=d/r
the rates are 6.4 and 4.7, so
d/6.4=d/4.7
biker B is 34m ahead, so 
(d+34)/6.4=d/4.7
multiply both sides by 6.4*4.7:
4.7(d+34)=6.4d
4.7d+=6.4d+159.8
1.7d=159.8
d=94 meters

Another way to think of it is that biker A gains 1.7 meters on B every second (6.4-4.7=1.5), so the time it'll take for him to gain 34 meters is 34/1.7=20 seconds. In that time, biker B travels 4.7*20=94 meters
