Distance traveled by the ball is given by

here we know that
speed = 20 m/s
times = 0.25 s
now we have


so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time
Answer:
W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)
Explanation:
First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

where,
ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?
n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole
Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)
Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K
ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K
Therefore,

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

where,
ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)
W = Work done = ?
Therefore,

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>
Answer:
Option D
490 J
Explanation:
When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then
PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J
At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J
Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence
981-490.5= 490.5 J
Approximately, 490 J
I think comets because they are small and they are composed of ice or water. Hope it helps :)
