In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas

. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?

Answer:

The value of change in internal energy of the gas = + 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

A glass plate (n = 1.60) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.29). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
frez [133]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil film is 198 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of glass plate = 1.60

Refractive index of oil = 1.29

Wavelength = 511 nm

We need to calculate the thickness of the oil film

Using formula of path difference

2nt=k\lambda

t=\dfrac{k\times\lambda}{2n}

Where, n = refractive index

t = thickness

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{1\times511\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.29}

t=198\times10^{-9}\ m

t= 198\ nm

Hence, The thickness of the oil film is 198 nm.

Cause and Effect :
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The thyroid gland produces thyroxine (referred to as T4), which is a relatively inactive prohormone. The highly active hormone is triiodothyronine (referred to as T3).

Key actions of adrenaline include increasing the heart rate, increasing blood pressure, expanding the air passages of the lungs, enlarging the pupil in the eye (see photo), redistributing blood to the muscles and altering the body's metabolism, so as to maximise blood glucose levels (primarily for the brain).

k0ka [10]

Answer:

P-waves travel through liquids and solid while S-waves only travel through solids.

Explanation:

Scientists are able to use the fact that P-waves travel through both solids and liquids and waves travel through only solids to determine what makes the different layers of the Earth.
