A closed system consisting of 2 lb of a gas undergoes a process during which the relation between pressure and volume is pVn = c

onstant. The process begins with p1 = 15 lbf/in.2, ν1 = 1.25 ft3/lb and ends with p2 = 60 lbf/in.2, ν2 = 0.5 ft3/lb. Determine (a) the volume, in ft3, occupied by the gas at states 1 and 2 and (b) the value of n.

Answer:

V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>

<u>V2=1ft3</u>

n=1.51

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb=  <u> 1ft3</u>

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)

n=1.51

Why is the sky blue?
ladessa [460]

The sunlight of all colors passes through air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than does the red part. More of the sunlight entering the atmosphere is blue than violet, however, and our eyes are somewhat more sensitive to blue light than to violet light, so the sky appears blue.

A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum. If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass,
fomenos

Answer:

The momentum would be doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the train

v is its speed

In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:

m'=2m

therefore, the new momentum is

p'=m'v=(2m)v=2(mv)=2p

so, the momentum has also doubled.

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J
