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

A small remote-control car with a mass of 1.65 kg moves at a constant speed of v = 12.0 m/s in a vertical circle inside a hollow
Reil [10]

Answer:

N=63.69N

Explanation:

The normal force exerted on the car by the walls of the cylinder at the bottom of the vertical circle will be such that when substracted to the weight it must give the centripetal force, since at that point on the vertical F_{cp}=N-W=N-mg

We also know that the equation for the centripetal force is:

F_{cp}=ma_{cp}=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Mixing both equations we get:

N-mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

N=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}

Which for our values means:

N=(1.65Kg)(9.8m/s^2)+\frac{(1.65Kg)(12m/s)^2}{(5m)}=63.69N

If you were standing at the center of curvature in front of a concave mirror, what image would be projected?
Romashka [77]
When you stand at the center of curvature in front of a concave mirror, the image created will be formed at the center of curvature also, but it will be inverted. The image formed will be real, and will have the same size as you.

A rock, with a density of 3.55 g/cm^3 and a volume of 470 cm^3, is thrown in a lake. a) What is the weight of the rock out of th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a) Weight of the rock out of the water = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = 11.76 N

Explanation:

a) Mass of the rock out of the water = Volume x Density

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density = 3.55 g/cm³

   Mass = 470 x 3.55 = 1668.5 g = 1.6685 kg

   Weight of the rock out of the water = 1.6685 x 9.81 = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = Volume x Density of liquid x Acceleration due to gravity.

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density of liquid = 1 g/cm³

   \texttt{Buoyancy force}= \frac{470\times 1\times 9.81}{1000} = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = Volume of body x Density of liquid

   Mass of the water displaced = 470 x 1 = 470 g = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = Weight of the rock out of the water - Buoyancy force

   Weight of rock under water = 16.37 - 4.61  =11.76 N
