The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves.

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:

Burka [1]

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Suppose the polar bear was running on land instead of swimming. If the polar bear runs at a speed of about 8.3 m/s, how far will

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

298800 m

Explanation:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

V=speed

d=distance

t=time

$d = vt$

Change hours to seconds

It will be 36000s

8.3m/s * 36000s

=298800m

A block with mass m =6.9 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.24 m.

Burka [1]

U need to set up n solve the general eqn for simple harmonic motion:
x" = -(k/m)x

solution is x(t) = (x0)*cos(wt) + (v0/w)*sin(wt)
where w=sqrt(k/m), x0 is x-position at t=0 and v0 is vel at t=0
u already calculated f in Q.2 and w = 2*pi*f
x0 is 0 as it starts at eqm
v0 is given at 5.1

so u have x(t)

vel is given by x'(t) = (x0)*(-w)*sin(wt) + (v0/w)*w*cos(wt)

substitute t=0.32, x0=0, v0=5.1 n w in the above, u can solve for v at t=0.32.
