Let’s say a small person with a mass of 50 kg walks up two flights of stairs. A heavy person with a mass of 105 kg walks up the

same stairs. Who did more work and why?
Please help me, I'm very confused

Answer:

Heavier person

Explanation:

Work = force × distance.  In this case, force = weight and distance = height of the stairs.  For both people, the height of the stairs is the same.  Since the heavier person has more weight, they did more work.

The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg
