A gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a compression process for which the relation between pressure and volume is given

by PVn = constant. The initial volume is 0.1 m3 , the final volume is 0.04 m3 , and the final pressure is 2 bar. Determine the initial pressure (bar), and the work for the process, in kJ, if (a) n = 0, (b) n = 1, (c) n = 1.3.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

  P_{2} = 2 bar,     P_{1} = ?

  V_{1} = 0.1 m^{3},    V_{2} = 0.04 m^{3}

We know that,

        PV^{n} = constant

or,     P_{1}V_{1}^{n} = P_{2}V_{2}^{n}

(a)  For n = 0; we will calculate the initial pressure as follows.

       P_{1}V_{1}^{n} = P_{2}V_{2}^{n}

      P_{1} \times (0.1)^{0} = 2 \times (0.04)^{0}

             P_{1} = 2 bar

(b)  For n = 1; we will calculate the initial pressure as follows.

       P_{1}V_{1}^{n} = P_{2}V_{2}^{n}

      P_{1} \times (0.1)^{1} = 2 \times (0.04)^{1}

             P_{1} = 0.8 bar

(c) For n = 1.3; we will calculate the initial pressure as follows.

         P_{1}V_{1}^{n} = P_{2}V_{2}^{n}

      P_{1} \times (0.1)^{1.3} = 2 \times (0.04)^{1.3}

             P_{1} \times (2.5)^{1.3} = 2

            P_{1} = 0.6

.2, A car starting from rest has an acceleration of
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 2.5 m/s and 6.25 m

Explanation:

u = 0

a = 0.5 m/s²

t = 5 s

v = u + at

=  0 + 0.5 × 5

= <u>2.5 m/s</u>

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 1/2 × 2.5 × 5

=<u> 6.25 m</u>

1.   A car travels along a straight road to the east for 100 meters in 4 seconds, then go the west for 50 meters in 1 second.
Alla [95]

Answer:

a.Distance = 150 m

b. Displacement = 50 m

Time lapsed = 5 seconds

Explanation:

a. Distance is the change in the position of an object.

The distance covered by the car = 100 + 50

                                                   = 150 m

b. Since displacement is a vector quantity,

Displacement of the car = 100 - 50

                                        = 50 m due east

c. Time elapsed is the time taken for the motion of the car starting from when its starts to when it stops.

Thus, the time elapsed = 4 + 1

                        = 5 seconds

A powerful searchlight shines on a man. The man's cross-sectional area is 0.500m2 perpendicular to the light beam, and the inten
babymother [125]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N

(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Explanation:

Given;

cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²

intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²

If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;

P = I/c

where;

P is the pressure of the incident light

I is the intensity of the incident light

c is the speed of light

P = \frac{I}{c} =\frac{35500}{3*10^8} = 1.18*10^{-4} \ N/m^2

F = PA

where;

F is the force of the incident light on the man

P is the pressure of the incident light on the man

A is the cross-sectional area of the man

F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Which of the following are true about a "simple compressible system"? It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxyge
fomenos

Explanation:

The volume of a simple compressible system is not fixed. At a state of equilibrium, there should be uniformity in the entire system.

From the question we have here, these are the correct options:

1. It cannot be a mixture of different substances (e.g. oxygen and nitrogent)

2. It can be composed of any phases of a substance: solid, liquid, and/or gas

3. It's state is specified if given two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties.
