Answer:

\eta_{th} = 26.8\,\%

Explanation:

The maximum theoretical efficiency for a heat engine is given by the Carnot's Cycle. The temperatures of the hot reservoir and the cold reservoir at 1.0 atmosphere are 373.15 K and 273.15 K, respectively. Then:

\eta_{th} = \left(1 - \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}  \right)\times 100\,\%

\eta_{th} = \left(1-\frac{273.15\,K}{373.15\,K}  \right)\times 100\,\%

\eta_{th} = 26.8\,\%

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C and 98.7 kPa. What would be the volume at 20°C and 102.7 kPa?
krek1111 [17]
To solve the problem, we assume the sample to be ideal. Then, we use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. From the first condition of the nitrogen gas sample, we calculate the number of moles.

n = PV / RT
n = (98.7x 10^3 Pa x 0.01 m^3) / (8.314 Pa m^3/ mol K) x 298.15 K
n = 0.40 mol N2

At the second condition, the number of moles stays the same however pressure and temperature was changed. So, the new volume is calculated as follows:

V = nRT / P
V = 0.40 x 8.314 x 293.15 / 102.7 x 10^3
V = 9.49 x 10^-3 m^3 or 9.49 L

5. A gas has a pressure of 1.26 atm and occupies a volume of 7.40 L. If the gas
marin [14]

Answer:

0.499atm

Explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm

Los hermanos Ana Victoria y José Leonardo están patinando en el hielo, con 25 y 20 kg respectivamente de masa, si Victoria empuj
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Utiliando las leyes de Newton encontraremos que la aceleración de Ana es -1.6 m/s^2.

La segunda ley de Newton dice que:

F = m*a

Fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

La tercera ley de Newton dice que cuando dos objetos interactuan, cadan objeto ejerce una fuerza de <u>igual magnitud pero opuesta direccion</u> en el otro.

Ahora veamos como aplicar esto.

Sabemos que la niña empuja al niño, asumamos que con una fuerza F.

Tendremos entonces la ecuación:

F = 20kg*(2m/s^2) = 40N

Y por la tercer ley de Newton, esta misma fuerza (pero en opuesta dirección) se aplica a la niña, entonces tendremos:

-40N = 25kg*a

-40N/25kg = a = -1.6 m/s²

La aceleración con la que retrosede la niña es -1.6 m/s²
