Answer:

a)W= - 720 J

b)ΔU= 330 J

Explanation:

Given that

P = 0.8 atm

We know that 1 atm = 100 KPa

P = 80 KPa

V₁ = 12 L = 0.012 m³       ( 1000 L = 1 m³)

V₂ = 3 L = 0.003 m³

Q= - 390 J ( heat is leaving from the system )

We know that work done by gas given as

W = P (V₂ -V₁ )

W= 80 x ( 0.003 - 0.012 ) KJ

W= - 0.72 KJ

W= - 720 J    ( Negative sign indicates work done on the gas)

From first law of thermodynamics

Q = W + ΔU

ΔU=Change in the internal energy

Now by putting the values

- 390 = - 720 + ΔU

ΔU= 720 - 390  J

ΔU= 330 J

The conservation of energy principle applies to a. all systems. b. open systems. c. closed systems. d. Ideal gas systems.
Ainat [17]

Answer:closed systems

Explanation:

A closed system is one in which matter does not enter or leave the system but there is exchange of energy between the system and its environment. In a closed system, the principle of energy conservation applies. The principle of energy conservation states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another. An example of a closed system is a reaction vessel whose lid is closed.

The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the
fomenos
<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

hope all of it helps you!</span>

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___.<br> OA) force<br> OB) mass<br> OC) weight<br> OD) magnitude
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.
