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.

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance that is 60% of the Carnot heat pump coefficient of performance. The heat pump is us
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

Explanation:

COP_max of carnot heat pump= \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H}-T_{C} }

where T_H and T_C are temperatures of hot and cold reservoirs

Also COP=\frac{Q_H}{W}

in the question COP= \frac{60}{100} \times COP_{max}

⇒\frac{Q_H}{W} =\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}

heat is added directly to be as efficient as via heat pump

Q_H= W

and T_H= 24° C= 297 K

1=\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{297}{297-T_C}

on calculating the above equation we get

T_C=118.8 K

the outdoor temperature for efficient addition of heat to interior of home

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

How is the medium of a wave and transmit of a wave similar and different?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. Here are some differences: Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space.

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.
Sholpan [36]
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
malfutka [58]

Answer:  A) 6.38(10)^{6} m

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia I of a sphere is:

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2} (1)

Where:

I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2} is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

m=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Isolating r from (1):

r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}} (2)

Solving:

r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}} (3)

Finally:

r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Can someone help me ASAP
Phantasy [73]

Well I don't know.  Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A,  B,  C,  and D all have the same TOTAL length, but  A  has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in  A  must be shorter than each wave in  B,  C,  or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>.  Looking at the picture did the trick !
