Answer:

a)

5.97\times 10^{7} ms⁻¹

b)

0.0021  sec

Explanation:

(a)

L_{o} = Actual length of the vehicle = 50 m

L = length measured by the earthbound observer = 49 m

v = speed of the vehicle

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹

Length measured by the earthbound observer is given as

L = L_{o}\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

49 = 50 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

0.98 = \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

0.9604 = 1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}

0.396 = \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}

v = 5.97\times 10^{7} ms⁻¹

b)

d = distance traveled = 6000 km = 6 x 10⁶ m

t = time measured by a clock on the vehicle

t' = time measured by a clock on the earth

Time measured by a clock on the vehicle  is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{6\times 10^{6}}{5.97\times 10^{7}}

t = 0.1006 sec

Time measured by a clock on the earth is given as

t = t'\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

0.1006 = t'\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{5.97\times 10^{7}}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

t' = 0.1027 sec

\Delta t = time difference

Time difference is given as

\Delta t = t' - t

\Delta t = 0.1027 - 0.1006

\Delta t = 0.0021

\Delta t = 0.0021  sec

A total of 25.6 kJ of heat energy is added to a 5.46 L sample of helium at 0.991 atm. The gas is allowed to expand against a fix
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ

(b) ΔU = 24.27 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

Work done by the gas can be found by the following formula:

W = P\Delta V

where,

W = Work = ?

P = constant pressure = (0.991 atm)(\frac{101325\ Pa}{1\ atm}) = 100413 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 18.7 L - 5.46 L = (13.24 L)(\frac{0.001\ m^3}{1\ L}) = 0.01324 m³

Therefore,

W = (100413 Pa)(0.01324 m³)

<u>W = 1329.5 J = 1.33 KJ</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

ΔU = ΔQ - W (negative W for the work done by the system)

where,

ΔU = change in internal energy of the gas = ?

ΔQ = heat added to the system = 25.6 KJ

Therefore,

ΔU = 25.6 KJ - 1.33 KJ

<u>ΔU = 24.27 KJ</u>
