Answer:

B. The gas must release heat to its surroundings.

Explanation:

Since the process is reversible , it must be slow . Since temperature is kept constant so the internal energy is constant , Since volume is decreased , pressure must be increased. Since work is done on the gas ( gas is compressed )  , so heat must be released by the gas so that its internal energy remains constant.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power consumed by toaster oven, P=1.4\ kW

Time taken, t = 6 minutes = 0.1 hour

Energy used by toaster, W_{toaster}=P\times t

W_{toaster}=1.4\ kW\times 0.1\ h=0.14\ kWh

Similarly,

Power consumed by toaster oven, P=11\ W

Time taken, t = 9 minutes = 0.15 hour

Energy used by toaster, W_{toaster}=P\times t

W_{toaster}=11\ W\times 0.15\ h=1.65\ Wh=0.0016\ kWh

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front-en4 collisions by hauling them up on a crane and dropping then; from a cert
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

a

Generally from third equation of motion we have that

v^2 =  u^2 + 2a[s_i - s_f]

Here v is the final speed of the car

u is the initial speed of the car which is zero

s_i is the initial position of the car which is certain height H

s_i is the final position of the car which is zero meters (i.e the ground)

a is the acceleration due to gravity which is g

So

v^2 = 0 + 2g[H - 0]

=> v  =  \sqrt{ 2 g H}

b

H  =  9.86 \  m

Explanation:

Generally from third equation of motion we have that

v^2 =  u^2 + 2a[s_i - s_f]

Here v is the final speed of the car

u is the initial speed of the car which is zero

s_i is the initial position of the car which is certain height H

s_i is the final position of the car which is zero meters (i.e the ground)

a is the acceleration due to gravity which is g

So

v^2 = 0 + 2g[H - 0]

=> v  =  \sqrt{ 2 g H}

When v  = 50 \  km/h = \frac{50 *1000}{3600} = 13.9 \  m/s we have that

13.9  =  \sqrt{ 2 g H}

=> H  =  \frac{13.9^2}{2 *  9.8}

=> H  =  9.86 \  m

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

What is the difference between flashing point, boiling point and melting point​
sp2606 [1]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
  • <u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
  • <u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.
