Formula of the gravitational force between two particles:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} Nm^2 kg^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles

r is their distance


(a) particle A

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle A is

F_B=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle A is

F_C=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle A is

F_A = F_B + F_C =5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=5.7 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right


(b) Particle B

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle B is

F_A=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle B is

F_C=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle B is

F_B = F_A + F_C =-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N=3.27 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the right


(c) Particle C

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle C is

F_A=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle C is

F_B=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

So the net gravitational force on particle C is

F_C = F_B + F_A =-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=-8.97 \cdot 10^{-5} N to the left

How much work is required to compress 5.05 mol of air at 19.5°C and 1.00 atm to one-eleventh of the original volume by an isothe
Rus_ich [418]

Explanation:

(a)  For an isothermal process, work done is represented as follows.

             W = -nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        W = -nRT ln(\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

             = - 5.05 mol \times 8.314 J/mol K \times (19.5 + 273) K \times ln (\frac{\frac{V_{1}}{11}}{V_{1}})

             = -12280.82 \times ln (0.09)

             = -12280.82 \times -2.41

             = 29596.78 J

or,         = 29.596 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the required work is 29.596 kJ.

(b) For an adiabatic process, work done is as follows.

         W = \frac{P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1}(V^{1-\gamma}_{2} - V(1-\gamma)_{1})}{(1 - \gamma)}

              = \frac{-nRT_{1}(11^{\gamma - 1} - 1)}{1 - \gamma}

              = \frac{-5.05 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 292.5 (11^{1.4 - 1} - 1)}{1 - 1.4}

              = 49.41 kJ

Therefore, work required to produce the same compression in an adiabatic process is 49.41 kJ.

(c)   We know that for an isothermal process,

               P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

or,       P_{2} = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

                    = 1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})

                    = 11 atm

Hence, the required pressure is 11 atm.

(d)   For adiabatic process,  

          P_{1}V^{\gamma}_{1} = P_{2}V^{\gamma}_{2}

or,       P_{2} = P_{1} (\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{1.4}

                    = 1 atm (\frac{V_{1}}{\frac{V_{1}}{11}})^{1.4}

                    = 28.7 atm

Therefore, required pressure is 28.7 atm.
