A 100-W lightbulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The lightbulb is turned on for 0.010 hour, and the as

sembly expands from an initial volume of 0.90 L to a final volume of 5.92 L against an external pressure of 1.0 atm. Use the wattage of the lightbulb and the time it is on to calculate ΔE in joules (assume that the cylinder and lightbulb assembly is the system and assume two significant figures). Calculate w and q.

Answer:

$w = - 508.53$ joules

$q = - 3091.47$ joules

Explanation:

Let us convert the time in hours into seconds

$0.010* 3600\\= 36$

Change in internal energy

$\delta E = p * \delta t$

where E is the internal energy in Joules

p is the power in watts

and t is the time in seconds

$\delta E = - 100 * 36\\$

$\delta E = - 3600$ Joules

Amount of work done by the system

$w = - P * \delta V$

where P is the pressure and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

$w = - 1 * ( 5.92 -0.90)\\$

$w = -5.02$ liter-atmospheres

Work done in Joules

$- 5.02 * 101.3\\$ $= 508.53$ Joules

$q = \delta E - w\\$

Substituting the given values we get -

$q = - 3600 - (-508.53)\\q = - 3091.47$

Thus

$w = - 508.53$ joules

$q = - 3091.47$ joules

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.

8_murik_8 [283]

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}$

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is $\sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m$

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0$

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) $V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

$r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m$

$V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a$

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_3}{r} = Vq_3$

$W = q_3(V_b - V_a) = q_3(V_b - 0)\\W = (-2\times10^{-6})(-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})\\W = \frac{5.8\times10^{-12}}{\pi\epsilon_0}$

Electric field lines show the strength and _____ of an electric field.

Gwar [14]

So we want to know what do electric field lines show except strength of the electric field. Electric field lines are lines that show us the field strength and the DIRECTION of the electric field. If the lines point away from the charge that is producing the lines, the charge is positive, and if the lines point towards the charge that is producing them that charge is negative.

Which of the following types of stars is the coolest? In Graph A, the curve peaks at 800 nm, in the red section of the visible l

ASHA 777 [7]

im no scientist but im pretty sure cool stars are warm colors and hot stars are cool colors, so red would be more cooler than blue.
