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

Two parallel plates of area 2.34*10-3 M2 have 7.07*10-7C of charge placed on them. A6.62*10-5C charge q1 is placed between the p
ira [324]

Answer:

The force exerted on the q_1 is  F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The area is  A =  2.34*10^{-3} \ m^2

     The magnitude of charge placed on them is  q =  7.07 * 10^{-7} C

     The charge placed between the plate is q_1 = 6.62 *10^{-5} C

   

The electric field generated around the plate  is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{A \epsilon_o}

Substituting values

          E =  \frac{7.07*10^{-7}}{2.34*10^{-3} * 8.85 *10^{-12}}

         E = 34*10^{6} \ V/m

The force exerted the charge q_1 is  mathematically represented as

        F =  q_1 * E

Substituting values  

        F =  6.62 *10^{-5} * 34*10^{6}

        F =  2.25*10^{3} \ N

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409
