1 kg air in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated at constant pressure, resulting the expansion of the volume. the initial temper
ature of the air was 300 k, and the air temperature becomes 500 k after the expansion. what is the boundary work done by the air
1 answer:
Answer:
57,42 KJ
Explanation:
By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:
W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)
By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn
Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)
W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)
Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?
From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol
Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:
n = 34,53 mol
Finally, in (2):
W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.
The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by
Where,
a = acceleration
t = time
= Initial velocity
= initial position
In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So
x = Displacement
t = time
With the data we have we can find the time as well
With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,
Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.
