When you shine light through a prism, you see the whole spectrum of light, or a rainbow, if you will.

So, when the sunlight enter's Earth's atmosphere, the sunlight is scattered in every direction by the air of the Earth (note that this happens on a molecular level). The color blue is scattered more than any other color since it has shorter and smaller waves than the other colors.

Because it is a large object and when the light hits it all the colors are absorbed except blue is reflect same thing with the ocean.

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control. That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable. That's the growth of the plants.

A piston–cylinder device with a set of stops initially contains 0.6 kg of steam at 1.0 MPa and 400°C. The location of the stops

Ilya [14]

Answer:

(a) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 1(MPa) is: 44.32(KJ), (b) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 500(KPa): 110.37(KJ) and (c) temperaure of the final state in part b: T=151.83(°C).

Explanation:

Remember that the substance is steam so it's water (H2O) and the initial conditions are $P_{1} =1MPa, T_{1}=400^{0}C, m=0.6Kg$ and $v_{2} =0.4v_{1}$ from a saturated water table and the initial conditions we can determine that the state phase is superheated (see Table 1 attached) because the $T_{sat}=179.88^{0} C \leq T_{1}$ from the table 1 we get: $v_{1} =0.30661(m^{3}/Kg)$ . Now we have second conditions as: $P_{2}=1(MPa), T_{2}=250^{0}C$ so from the same table we can see the state still superheated and we get $v_{2}=0.23275(m^{3}/Kg)$ , knowing that it's a isobaric process we can find the compression's work as: $W_{b}=m*P(v_{2}-v_{1})=0.6*1000*(0.23275-0.30661)=-44.32(KJ)$ so the compressor's work is: 44.32(KJ). (b) Then the piston reaches the stop and there are two processes in this stage, so Process 1 is isobaric and: $W_{1}=m*P*(v_{2}-v_{1}) =0.6*1000*(0.4*0.30661-0.30661)=-110.38(KJ)$ and the second process is isochoric: $W_{2}=zero$ ,now $W_{b}=W_{1}+ W_{2} =110.38+0=110.38(KJ)$ . Finally to get the temperarure at the final state in part (b) we get: $v_{2} =0.4v_{1} =0.4*0.30661=0.122644(m^{3}/Kg), P_{2}=500(KPa)$ from table 2 (see attached) we compare $v_{f}$ and $v_{g}$ at the saturated water table and find the following: $v_{f}=0.001093(m^{3}/Kg)$ , so we know that the final state phase is a satured mixture and we get the temperature at the final state as: $T_{2} =T_{sat} =151.83^{0}C$ .
