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

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. in 6.00 s, it rotates 44.5 rad. du

Klio2033 [76]

a. The disk starts at rest, so its angular displacement at time $t$ is

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

It rotates 44.5 rad in this time, so we have

$44.5\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac\alpha2(6.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Since acceleration is constant, the average angular velocity is

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\omega_f}2$

where $\omega_f$ is the angular velocity achieved after 6.00 s. The velocity of the disk at time $t$ is

$\omega=\alpha t$

so we have

$\omega_f=\left(2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.00\,\mathrm s)=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

making the average velocity

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{14.8\frac{\rm rad}{\rm s}}2=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

Another way to find the average velocity is to compute it directly via

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{44.5\,\rm rad}{6.00\,\rm s}=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. We already found this using the first method in part (b),

$\omega=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. We already know

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

so this is just a matter of plugging in $t=12.0\,\mathrm s$ . We get

$\theta=179\,\mathrm{rad}$

Or to make things slightly more interesting, we could have taken the end of the first 6.00 s interval to be the start of the next 6.00 s interval, so that

$\theta=44.5\,\mathrm{rad}+\left(14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

Then for $t=6.00\,\rm s$ we would get the same $\theta=179\,\rm rad$ .

A thin film of soap with n = 1.34 hanging in the air reflects dominantly red light with λ = 642 nm. What is the minimum thicknes

wariber [46]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are $1.197\times10^{-7}\ m$ and 371 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of soap= 1.34

Refractive index of glass= 1.55

Wavelength = 642 nm

(I). We need to calculate the minimum thickness

Using formula of thickness

$t=\dfrac{(2m+1)\lambda}{4n}$

Where, m = 0 for constrictive

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{(642\times10^{-9})}{4\times1.34}$

$t=1.197\times10^{-7}\ m$

(II). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{m}$

Where, m = 1

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1.55\times1.197\times10^{-7}}{1}$

$\lambda=371\ nm$

Hence, The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are $1.197\times10^{-7}\ m$ and 371 nm.
