The heat transferred is -30J

When the gas undergoes compression, work is done on the gas and its internal energy increases.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the increase in internal energyΔU is the sum of the heat given to the gas ΔQ and the amount of work done on the gas ΔW

\Delta U=\Delta Q +\Delta W

The work done on the gas is 150 J due to compression and the internal energy of the gas increases by 120 J.

Therefore, the heat given to the gas is given by,

\Delta Q =\Delta U -\Delta W\\ =120 J -150 J\\  =-30 J

Thus, an amount of heat equal to 30 J flows out of the system.

3) A 900N mountain climber scales a 100m cliff. How much work is done by the mountain climber?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

90 kJ

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (900 N) (100 m)

W = 90,000 J

W = 90 kJ

Suppose Joe, who can type 40 words per minute, takes 2.5 hours to type his report. To speed things up, his friend Mark offers to
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

When Joe works alone, the total number  of words he typed can be given by:

Total words = (40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hour) x (2.5 hours)

Total words = 6000 words

Now, when Joe and Mark work together, let 'y' be the number of hours for which they both work simultaneously:

Total words = Words Typed by Joe + Words Typed by Mark

6000 = {(40 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)} + {(20 words per minute) x (60 minutes per hours) x (y hours)}

6000 = 2400y + 1200y = 3600y

y = 1.67 hours = 1 hour and 40 minutes

Thus, working together simultaneously, Joe and Mark will take 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete the report.

A spatially challenged goldfish swims along the x-axis only. Its initial position is 7.8 m. After swimming back and forth a whil
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The fish displacement was -3.4 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Distance and Displacement</u>

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

4.39 moles of gas in a box has a pressure of 2.25 atm at temperature of 385K. What is the volume of the box?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.0619 m^3

Explanation

number of moles = n = 4.39 mol

pressure = P = 2.25 atm =2.25×1.01×10^5 Pa= 2.27×10^5 Pa

Molar gas constant =R = 8.31 J/(mol K)

Temperature T= 385K

volume of gas = V =?

BY GENERAL GAS LAW WE HAVE

PV = nRT

or V = nRT/P

or V = (4.39×8.31×385)/(2.27×10^5)

V = 0.0618728

V =  0.0619 m^3
