Answer:

$x_i = -19.5 m$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement is defined as the change in the position.

So we will have

$displacement = x_f - x_i$

here we know that

displacement = 17 m

initial position = ?

final position is given as

$x_f = -2.5 m$

so we have

$(-2.5 m) - x_i = 17 m$

$x_i = -2.5 - 17$

$x_i = -19.5 m$

Temperature and pressure of a region upstream of a shockwave are 295 K and 1.01* 109 N/m². Just downstream the shockwave, the te

seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant $\gamma =1.4$

specific heat is given as $=\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}$

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

$Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

specific heat at constant volume

$Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

change in internal energy $= Cv(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta U = 717.5 (800-295) = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in enthalapy $\Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in entropy

$\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

$\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})$

$\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$

This diagram represents the synthesis of nitrogen monoxide. Write a balanced equation of this chemical reaction. A) N2(g) + O2(g

ruslelena [56]

The only balanced equation is B.

If you look at the equation and break it down you can see that in:

$N_{2} + O_{2}$ → $2NO$

Starting from the left side of the equation there are 2 Nitrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms as indicated by the subscript.

To balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element in the right side equation should be equal to left. By putting the numerical coefficient of 2, you will distribute that to each element. So you will end up with 2 nitrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on the left side of the equation. Thus, the equation is balanced.

The answer again, is B.
