Answer:

Frictional force

Explanation:

The brakes of a car gets hotter than the brakes of a bicycle because more frictional force is expended in applying the brake on a car than a bicycle.

To brake a car, the concept of friction is usually adopted. Two surfaces that increases friction when they come in contact are used in braking.

Frictional force is a force that resists the motion of a body. This forces helps to have grasp of motion.

A car requires more resistance to motion to break it because it have more more mass and other component motions parameters.

A bicycle is lighter and will require little friction.

Some of the frictional force applied is converted to heat energy. The amount of this energy expended is proportional to the frictional force.

Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is $W = 1563.289 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the environment is $T = 280\ K$

The volume of container A is $V_A = 2 m^3$

Initially the number of moles is $n = 1.2 \ moles$

The volume of container B is $V_B = 3.5 \ m^3$

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

$W = P_A V_A ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Now from the Ideal gas law

$P_A V_A = nRT$

So substituting for $P_A V_A$ in the equation above

$W = nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Where R is the gas constant with a values of $R = 8.314 \ J/mol$

Substituting values we have that

$W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]$

$W = 1563.289 \ J$

How does the size of a planet affected the amount and type of gas in its atmosphere

dalvyx [7]

There are lots of variables that directly and indirectly contribute to the presence of gas on a surface
if the size of a planet is relatively small it will in turn be that of a smaller area which results in the less area to be covered for gas which basically means higher presence
I can go in depth more but I don't think that would be necessary all you need to know is this ...based on the size and gas will in turn be parallel to it's conformity
