Answer:

The Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west. And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east. ... Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c

Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11 = 909.091 J of work

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arr

Nitella [24]

Answer:

1. Part A: 648N
2. Part B: 324J
3. Part C: 1,296N

Explanation:

1. Part A:

The magnitude of the force is calculated using the Hook's law:

$|F|=k\Delta x$

You know $\Delta x=0.250m$ but you do not have $k$ .

You can calculate it using the equation for the work-energy for a spring.

The work done to compress the springs a distance $\Delta x$ is:

$Work=\Delta PE=(1/2)k(\Delta x)^2$

Where $\Delta PE$ is the change in the elastic potential energy of the "spring".

Here you have two springs, but you can work as if they were one spring.

You know the work (81.0J) and the length the "spring" was compressed (0.250m). Thus, just substitute and solve for k:

$81.0J=(1/2)k(0.250m)^2\\\\k=2,592N/m$

In reallity, the constant of each spring is half of that, but it is not relevant for the calculations and you are safe by assuming that it is just one spring with that constant.

Now calculate the magnitude of the force:

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.250m=648N$

2. Part B. How much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.250 m farther?

The additional work will be the extra elastic potential energy that the springs earn.

You already know the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m; now you must calculate the elastic potential energy when Δx = 0.250m + 0.250m = 0.500m.

$\Delta E=(1/2)2,592n/m\times(0.500m)^2=324J$

Therefore, you must do 324J of additional work to move the plattarform a distance 0.250 m farther.

3. Part C

What maximum force must you apply to move the platform to the position in Part B?

The maximum force is when the springs are compressed the maximum and that is 0.500m

Therefore, use Hook's law again, but now the compression length is Δx = 0.500m

$|F|=k\Delta x=2,592N/m\times 0.500m =1,296N$
