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 moving billiard ball collides with an identical stationary billiard ball in an elastic collision. after the collision, the sec

MArishka [77]

A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.

<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>

Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.

u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1

u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest

v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.

From the conservation of momentum,

∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2

∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2

∴ u1 = v1 + v2

In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

$\frac{1}{2} mu_1^2+0=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} m(v_1+v_2 )^2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2$

∴ $\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2+mv_1 v_2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2$

∴ $mv$ ₁ $v$ ₂ = 0

It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.

Which of these is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds on the eastern Pacific Ocean?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding.

Explanation:

The other options of the question were A) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing drought. B) Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing drought. D) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing heavy rain and flooding,

The statement that is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds in the Pacific Northwest to the United States is "Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding."

We are talking about climate or weather terminology. In this case, we are referring to the "El Niño" (the Children) effect. Its presence affects the weather in North America. This phenomenon combines with the "La Niña) effect and it presents itself every two to seven years, ad they last from 8 to 12 months, affecting the weather conditions of the region.

Four traveling waves are described by the following equations, where all quantities are measured in SI units and y represents th

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$T_1=T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}$

$T_2=T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}$

Explanation:

Wave 1, $y_1=0.12\ cos(3x-21t)$

Wave 2, $y_2=0.15\ sin(6x+42t)$

Wave 3, $y_3=0.13\ cos(6x+21t)$

Wave 4, $y_4=-0.27\ sin(3x-42t)$

The general equation of travelling wave is given by :

$y=A\ cos(kx\pm \omega t)$

The value of $\omega$ will remain the same if we take phase difference into account.

For first wave,

$\omega_1=21$

$\dfrac{2\pi }{T_1}=21$

$T_1=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}$

For second wave,

$\omega_2=42$

$\dfrac{2\pi }{T_2}=42$

$T_2=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}$

For the third wave,

$\omega_3=21$

$\dfrac{2\pi }{T_3}=21$

$T_3=\dfrac{2\pi}{21}$

For the fourth wave,

$\omega_4=42$

$\dfrac{2\pi }{T_4}=42$

$T_4=\dfrac{2\pi}{42}$

It is clear from above calculations that waves 1 and 3 have same time period. Also, wave 2 and 4 have same time period. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explain why electromagnetic wave is transverse wave and not a compressional wave. ...?

tiny-mole [99]

An electromagnetic , transverse, wave is a wave that goes up and down, such as light that does not need a medium to travel
While compressional, longitudinal wave such as sound require a medium to travel and can be compressed
