A firm wants to determine the amount of frictional torque in their current line of grindstones, so they can redesign them to be

more energy efficient. To do this, they ask you to test the best-selling model, which is basically a diskshaped grindstone of mass 2.0 kg and radius 9.90 cm which operates at 720 rev/min. When the power is shut off, you time the grindstone and find it takes 41.9 s for it to stop rotating.
(a) What is the angular acceleration of the grindstone in rad/s^2? (b) What is the frictional torque exerted on the grindstone in N·m?

Answer:

a)- 1.799 rad/sec²

b)- 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

Explanation:

ω₀ = 720 rev/min x (1 min/60 sec) x (2π rad / 1 rev) = 24π rad/s

a) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, the formula will be

α = (ωf -ω₀) / t

As final state of the grindstone is at rest, so ωf =0

⇒ α = (0-24π) / 41.9 = - 1.799 rad/sec²

b)Moment of inertia I for a disk about its central axis

I = ½mr²

where m=2kg and radius 'r'= 0.099m

I = ½(2)(0.099²)

I = 9.8 x 10ˉ³ kgm²

Next is to determine the frictional torque exerted on the grindstone, that caused it to stop, applying the rotational equivalent of the Newton's 2nd law:

τ = I α =>(9.8 x 10ˉ³)(- 1.799)

τ = - 17.6 x 10ˉ³Nm

(The negative sign indicates that the frictional torque opposes to the rotation of the grindstone).

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?

Mashutka [201]

-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.

A mole of ideal gas expands at T=27 °C. The pressure changes from 20 atm to 1 atm. What’s the work that the gas has done and wha

Airida [17]

Answer:

The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

<h3>Work</h3>

We know that the differential work made by the gas its defined as:

$dW = P \ dv$

We can solve this by integration:

$\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv$

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

$P \ V = \ n \ R \ T$

$P = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V}$

This give us

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv$

As n, R and T are constants

$\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv$

$\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})$

But the volume is:

$V = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P}$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )$

$\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})$

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

$T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K$

The ideal gas constant:

$R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}$

So:

$\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})$

$\Delta W = 7475.69 joules$

<h3>Heat</h3>

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

$E= c_v n R T$

where $c_v$ its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

$\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W$

where $\Delta W$ is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

$\Delta E = 0$

$\Delta Q = \Delta W$
