Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.

A bullet with a mass of 0.3 kg is fired out of a gun with a mass of 4 kg at 600 m/s. What is the recoil velocity on the gun?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

According to the Conservation of Momentum,

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M(gun)×V(gun)=m(bullet)×v(bullet)

4kg × V = 0.3kg × 600m/s²

V = (0.3 × 600)/4 = 45 m/s

The recoil velocity on the gun is <em><u>45 m/s</u></em>

<h3><u>45 m/s</u> is the right answer.</h3>

In the last part of the experiment you need to investigate the behaviour of gamma radiation as it passes through air. A gamma so
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

linear cart C Vs 1/R²  or log cart C Vs R

Explanation:

Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic rays, but its behavior is the same as for all radiation. By the principle of conservation of energy after the radiation is emitted, it must be distributed on a spherical surface which determines the behavior of the inverse of the square.

In this experiment you are measuring the rate of counts by time (C), this must be the dependent variable since it is not controlled by the experimenter and on the other hand it measures the distance (X) this is the independent variable since it is the one that we can control.

To make a graph with this data, the counting rate must be plotted against the inverse of the squared distance (1/R²). On the Y axis the counts per second and the X 1 / R² axis, with this graph a line must be obtained.

Another graph that we can make on double logarithmic paper where the Y axis plotted the counting rate and on the X axis the distance, the slope should give -2.

            C == A / R²

        Log C = log A -2 log R

With either of the two graphs, the law of the inverse of the square is tested
