A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3 , undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at

2 bars to a final volume of 0.12 m3 , while being slowly heated through the base. The change in internal change of the gas 0.25 kJ. The piston and cylinder walls are fabricated from heat-resistant material and the piston moves smoothly in the cylinder. For the gas as the system, evaluate work and heat transfer each in kJ (Neglect the potential energy change and kinetic energy change).

Answer:

Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ

Explanation:

For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

W=p(V_f -V_i)

where in this case we have:

p = 2 bar = 2\cdot 10^5 Pa is the pressure

V_i = 0.1 m^3 is the initial volume

V_f = 0.12 m^3 is the final volume

Substituting,

W=(2\cdot 10^5)(0.12-0.10)=4000 J = 4.0 kJ

The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed by the gas

Here we know that

\Delta U = +0.25 kJ

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:

Q=\Delta U + W = 0.25 kJ + 4.0 kJ = 4.25 kJ

A skateboarder is skating back and forth on the halfpipe as seen below. As he skates his energy transforms from potential energy
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that in absence of frictional forces, the mechanical energy of an object (given by the sum of its kinetic and potential energy) is conserved. In such a situation, the skateboarder would never stop his motion, because potential energy is continuously converted into kinetic energy and vice-versa, but the total energy remains the same so he would never stop.

In a real world, however, this is not true. In fact, in a real world some frictional force are present, in particular:

- friction: this force is due to the contact between the skateboard and the surface of the halfpipe, and its direction is always opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

- Air resistance: this force is due to the resistance opposed by the molecules of air that the skateboarder meets during his motion, and its direction is also opposite to the motion of the skateboarder

This two forces are said to be non-conservative forces, which means that they cause some of the mechanical energy of the skateboarder to be "lost", in the sense that it is dissipated as heat and it is no longer available for the skateboarder.

Therefore, the correct option is

Friction and air resistance cause some of his kinetic energy to be “lost”. This makes him slow down.
