First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that 1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa:
p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that 1.0 L = 0.001 m^3):
V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3
V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​
