A gas is inside a cylinder fitted with a piston. The gas and its surroundings are both at 20 ∘C and the gas is compressed as the

piston moves and decreases the cylinder volume. The compression takes place slowly enough to allow the gas temperature to stay at 20 ∘C and the work done on the gas by the compression is 1.9 × 103 J. What is the change in entropy of the gas

Answer:

-  6.48 J K⁻¹

Explanation:

Temperature of gas = 20°C

= 273 +20 = 293 K.

As temperature is fixed , there will be no change in gas internal energy

Δ E = 0

From the relation

Δ Q =  Δ E+ Δ W

Work done on the gas is 1.9 x 10³

Δ W = - 1.9 x 10³ J

Δ Q = - 1.9 x 10³ J

Δ S =  Δ Q / T

=\frac{- 1.9 \times 10^3 }{293}

= -  6.48 J K⁻¹

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

The USDA recommends that women consume about 2000 Calories per day and men consume about 2500 Calories per day. How much average
professor190 [17]

Answer:

   1500 W to 2200 W

Explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.

Humpback whales are known to produce a collection of elaborate and repeating sounds with frequencies starting at 20 Hz. The soun
jasenka [17]

Answer:

70 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency, f = 20 HZ

speed of sound, v = 1400 m/s

wavelength of the waves = ?

we know,

v = f λ

\lambda= \dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda= \dfrac{1400}{20}

\lambda=70\ m

Hence, the wavelength of the wave is equal to 70 m.
