A 5 m3 tank containing 5kg of an unknown ideal gas at 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing 10 kg of t

he same gas at 200 kPa. The two tanks have thermal equilibrium with the ambient environment. After the valve has been opened, the tanks again reach thermal equilibrium with their ambient environment. What is the a) total volume, b) total mass, and c) pressure of the gas in the two tanks

Answer:

a) V_{T} = 9\,m^{2}, b) m_{T} = 15\,kg, c) P_{T} = 416.667\,kPa

Explanation:

a) The equation of state for ideal gas is:

P \cdot V = \frac{m}{M}\cdot R_{u}\cdot T

Given the existence of an isothermal process, the following relation is derived:

\frac{P_{1}\cdot V_{1}}{m_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}\cdot V_{2}}{m_{2}}

The volume of the other tank is:

V_{2} = \left(\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}\right)\cdot V_{1}

V_{2} = \left(\frac{10\,kg}{5\,kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{200\,kPa}{500\,kPa}\right)\cdot (5\,m^{3})

V_{2} = 4\,m^{3}

The total volume is:

V_{T} = V_{1} + V_{2}

V_{T} = 5\,m^{3} + 4\,m^{3}

V_{T} = 9\,m^{2}

b) The total mass is:

m_{T} = m_{1} + m_{2}

m_{T} = 5\,kg + 10\,kg

m_{T} = 15\,kg

c) The pressure of the gas in the two tanks is:

P_{2} = \left(\frac{m_{2}}{m_{1}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}\right)\cdot P_{1}

P_{T} = \left(\frac{15\,kg}{5\,kg}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{5\,m^{2}}{9\,m^{2}} \right)\cdot (500\,kPa)

P_{T} = 416.667\,kPa

an object is moving with initial velocity of 5 m/s. After 10 seconds final velocity is 10 m/s. Calculate its acceleration.​
Brut [27]

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2

Incident rays parallel to the axis of a concave mirror reflect parallel to the axis.

No they don't.  Incident rays parallel to the axis of a concave mirror
reflect from the mirror's surface and converge at its focal point.

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>
