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

A hamster of mass 0.139 kg gets onto his 20.8−cm-diameter exercise wheel and runs along inside the wheel for 0.823 s until its f

Anna11 [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the hamster, m = 0.139 kg

Diameter of the wheel, d = 20.8 cm

Radius, r = 10.4 m

Frequency of the wheel, f = 1 Hz

Time, t = 0.823 s

(a) There exist a relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration of the wheel. It is given by :

$a=\alpha \times r$

Since, $\alpha =\dfrac{\omega}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{\omega}{t} \times r$

$a=\dfrac{2\pi f}{t} \times r$

$a=\dfrac{2\pi \times 1}{ 0.823} \times 10.4\times 10^{-2}$

$a=0.793\ m/s^2$

(b) In radial direction, applying the second law of motion as :

$N-mg=ma$

a is the radial acceleration, $a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$N=mg+ma$

$N=mg+m(\dfrac{v^2}{r})$

$N=mg+m(\dfrac{(r\omega)^2}{r})$

$N=mg+m\omega^2 r$

$N=m(g+\omega^2 r)$

$N=m(g+(2\pi f)^2 r)$

$N=0.139\times (9.8+(2\pi 1)^2\times 10.4\times 10^{-2})$

$N=1.93\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 12 Volt lead-acid car battery, engineered for "up to 500 or more charge/discharge cycles," has a rating of 95.0 Ampere-hours.

Lena [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical energy = potential x charge

potential = 12V ,

Charge = 95 amp-hours

= 95 x 60 x 60 coulomb

= 342000 coulomb

Electrical energy stored in battery = 342000 x 12

= 4104000 J

= 4.1 x 10⁶ J .

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Induced current, I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

number of turns, N = 20

Area of wire, $A=50\ cm^2=0.005\ m^2$

Initial magnetic field, $B_i=2\ T$

Final magnetic field, $B_f=6\ T$

Time taken, t = 2 s

Resistance of the coil, R = 0.4 ohms

We know that due to change in magnetic field and emf will be induced in the coil. Its formula is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}$

Where

$\phi=BA$

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d(NBA)}{dt}$

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{B_f-B_i}{t}$

$\epsilon=20\times 0.005\times \dfrac{6-2}{2}$

$\epsilon=0.2\ V$

Let I is the induced current in the wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

$\epsilon=I\times R$

$I=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{0.2}{0.4}$

I = 0.5 A

So, the magnitude of the induced current in the coil is 0.5 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
