Answer:
58.8J
Explanation:
Given parameters;
Mass of ball = 4kg
Height above the floor = 1.5m
g = 9.8n/kg
Unknown:
Potential energy = ?
Solution:
The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.
It is mathematically expressed as:
Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
Potential energy = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 58.8J
We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:
T1/P1 = T2/P2
P2 = T2 x P1 / T1
P2 = 273 x 340 / 713
