This is an incomplete question. The complete question is:

A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.50 L to a final volume of 1.20 L by an external pressure of 1.00 atm. During the compression the gas releases 128 J of heat. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

Answer: 325 Joules

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta E=q+w

\Delta E=Change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

w = work done or by the system

w = work done on the system=-P\Delta V  {Work is done on the system as the final volume is lesser than initial volume and is positive}

w =-1.00atm\times (1.24-5.65)L=4.41Latm=447Joules  {1Latm=101.3J}

q = -122J   {Heat released by the system is negative}

\Delta E=+447+(-122)=325J

Thus the change in internal energy of the gas is 325 Joules

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

c=fλ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, \lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Plug in the values,

\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of
Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.

A traffic light of weight 100 N is supported by two ropes that make 30-degree angle with the horizontal. What is the vertical co
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

T_{vertical} = 50 N

Explanation:

given,

traffic light weight = 100 N

angle at which the rope is supported = 30°

vertical component of force = ?

2 T sin \theta= W

2 T sin 30^0= 100

T = \dfrac{100}{2 sin 30^0}

T = 100\ N

T_{vertical} = T sin 30^0

T_{vertical} = 100\times \dfrac{1}{2}

T_{vertical} = 50 N
