Vladimir [108]2 years ago

The fact that no heat is transferred between a system and its surroundings refers to an adiabatic free expansion.

 

In gas, the adiabatic compression creates an increase in the temperature while it causes a drop in temperature there is adiabatic expansion against pressure, or a spring.

<span>

Before being allowed to expand in vacuum, the gas is first contained in an insulated container.</span>

 

The work made by or on the system is zero since there is no external pressure for the gas to enlarge on against. The first law of thermodynamics then insinuates that zero is the net internal energy change of the system since the process does not incorporate any work or heat transfer.

We have no way to say what the illustration represents, mainly because
you haven't given us a way to see the illustration.

<span>However, the process that all stars, including our sun, use to continuously
produce energy is nuclear fusion.</span>

List atleast to conditions that could cause the pressure inside a sealed container of gas to increase
hjlf
There are exactly three ways that could happen:

1).  The container was heated, and the gas inside it got warmer.

2).  Some part inside the container moved somehow, and made
      the inside volume smaller, so the gas got scrunched into a
      smaller space.

3).  Somebody pumped some more gas into the container, so
      a greater amount of gas had to live in the same space.

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?
pishuonlain [190]
Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality. 
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. 
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

(a) 1.21 m/s² (b) 1.75 m/s²

Explanation:

The initial speed of the car, u = 17.8 m/s

Case 1.

Final speed of the car, v = 23.5 m/s

Time, t = 4.68-s

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

a=\dfrac{23.5 -17.8 }{4.68}\\\\a=1.21\ m/s^2

Case 2.

Final speed of the car, v = 15.3 m/s

a=\dfrac{23.5 -15.3}{4.68}\\\\a=1.75\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
