A closed system consisting of 10 lb of air undergoes a polytropic process from p1 = 75 lbf/in2, v1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state w

here p2 = 20 lbf/in2, v2 = 12 ft3/lb. Determine the polytropic exponent, n, and the amount of energy transfer by work, in Btu, for the process.

Answer:

The polytropic exponent (n) is 1.2

The amount of energy transfer by work is 552.45 Btu

Explanation:

P1V1^n = P2V2^n

P1 = 75 lbf/in^2 = 75 lbf/in^2 × 143.3 in^2/ft^2 = 10,747.5 lbf/ft^2

V1 = 4 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 40 ft^3

P2 = 20 lbf/in^2 = 20 × 143.3 = 2866 lbf/ft^2

V2 = 12 ft^3/lb × 10 lb = 120 ft^3

(V2/V1)^n = P1/P2

(120/40)^n = 10747.5/2866

3^n = 3.75

ln 3^n = ln 3.75

n ln 3 = ln 3.75

n = ln 3.75/ln 3 = 1.2

W = (P2V2 - P1V1)/1 - n = (2866×120 - 10747.5×40)/1-1.2 = (343,920 - 429,900)/-0.2 = -85,980/-0.2 = 429,900 lbf.ft = 429,900/778.17 Btu = 552.45 Btu

A glass rod is rubbed with nylon. The rod is then brought close to the metal knob of an electroscope. A person's finger briefly
qwelly [4]

Answer:

On removal to the glass rod the leaves of the electroscope will disperse away under the influence of the positive charge due to deficiency of electrons.

Explanation:

When a glass rod is rubbed against a nylon then the electrons from the surface of the glass rod get transferred to the nylon piece and as a result the glass rod attains positive electrostatic charge.

When this positively charged rod is brought close to the knob of an electroscope then the electrons from that metallic of the electroscope feel attraction and move toward the glass rod get concentrated on the knob.

  • In this situation when any of our body part comes in direct contact to the knob these static concentrated charges get a path to flow from high concentration to a lower concentration under the influence of the electrostatic force of the rod.
  • So these charges flow into our body from the knob.
  • Our body acts as a reservoir for the charges on the metallic knob.
  • Now after the electrons form the knob are transferred to the person's body the electroscope becomes electron deficient and hence positively charged.
  • So now, on removal to the glass rod the leaves of the electroscope will disperse away under the influence of the positive charge.

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30
12345 [234]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})

   I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3

I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8

I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

  r₂ = 0.2 m

What is Physics? How is Physics used in your everyday life? Give at least two examples and explain your answer. You need at leas
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Physics is a brand of science that deals with nature, matter, and energy. Physics is used in the everyday world because we have simple objects such as levers that use physics. we also have Newton's law of transportation that manipulate everyday objects making them move, so without physics many objects wouldn't move.

A 2 N and an 8 N force pull on an object to the right and a 4 N force pulls on the same object to the left. If the object has a
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]
