Answer:

Option C = internal energy stays the same.

Explanation:

The internal energy will remain the same or unchanged because this question has to do with a concept in physics or classical chemistry (in thermodynamics) known as Free expansion.

So, the internal energy will be equals to the multiplication of the change in temperature, the heat capacity (keeping volume constant) and the number of moles. And in free expansion the internal energy is ZERO/UNCHANGED.

Where, the internal energy, ∆U = 0 =quantity of heat, q - work,w.

The amount of heat,q = Work,w.

In the concept of free expansion the only thing that changes is the volume.

What is a radio wave made up of? Molecules? Electrons? Other?
mafiozo [28]

Radio waves are radiated by charged particles when they are accelerated. They are produced artificially by time-varying electric currents, consisting of electrons flowing back and forth in a specially-shaped metal conductor called an antenna. ... Radio waves are received by another antenna attached to a radio receiver.

A biotechnology company produced 225 doses of somatropin, including 11 which were defective. Quality control test 15 samples at
Radda [10]

Answer:

  • <u>0.59</u>

Explanation:

The <em>batch</em> is <em>rejected</em> if any of the <em>random samples are found defective</em>, or, what is the same, it will be accepted only if all 15 samples are good.

The probability that none be defective is the same probability that all the samples are good. Thus, start to calculate the probability that the batch is accepted.

The probability that the first sample is good is 214 /225, because there are 225 - 11 = 214 good samples in 225 doses.

The probability that the second samples is good too is 213/224, because there is 1 less good sample, in the 224 remaining samples.

By the same process, you conclude that the consecutive probabilities of selecting a good sample are: 212/223, 211/222, 210/221, . . . up to 199/211.

The joint probability of all the samples are good is the product of each probability:

\frac{214}{225}\cdot\frac{213}{224}\cdot\frac{212}{223}\cdot\frac{211}{222}\cdot\frac{210}{221}\cdot\frac{209}{220}\cdot\frac{208}{219}\cdot\frac{207}{218}\cdot\frac{206}{217}\cdot\frac{205}{216}\cdot\frac{204}{215}\cdot\frac{203}{214}\cdot\frac{202}{213}\cdot\frac{201}{212}\cdot\frac{200}{211}\cdot\frac{199}{210}

The result is: 0.41278 ≈ 0.41

The conclusion is that the probability that all the samples are good and the batch is accepted is 0.41.

Therefore, <em>the probability that the batch is rejected</em> is 1 - 0.41 = 0.59.

Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehi
qaws [65]

Answer:

\Delta V = 209.151\,L, \Delta C = 217.517\,USD

Explanation:

The drag force is equal to:

F_{D} = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot A

Where C_{D} is the drag coefficient and A is the frontal area, respectively. The work loss due to drag forces is:

W = F_{D}\cdot \Delta s

The reduction on amount of fuel is associated with the reduction in work loss:

\Delta W = (F_{D,1} - F_{D,2})\cdot \Delta s

Where F_{D,1} and F_{D,2} are the original and the reduced frontal areas, respectively.

\Delta W = C_{D}\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \rho_{air}\cdot v^{2}\cdot (A_{1}-A_{2})\cdot \Delta s

The change is work loss in a year is:

\Delta W = (0.3)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot (1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}})\cdot (27.778\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}\cdot [(1.85\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m) - (1.50\,m)\cdot (1.75\,m)]\cdot (25\times 10^{6}\,m)

\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{9}\,J

\Delta W = 2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ

The change in chemical energy from gasoline is:

\Delta E = \frac{\Delta W}{\eta}

\Delta E = \frac{2.043\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{0.3}

\Delta E = 6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ

The changes in gasoline consumption is:

\Delta m = \frac{\Delta E}{L_{c}}

\Delta m = \frac{6.81\times 10^{6}\,kJ}{44000\,\frac{kJ}{kg} }

\Delta m = 154.772\,kg

\Delta V = \frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }

\Delta V = 209.151\,L

Lastly, the money saved is:

\Delta C = \left(\frac{154.772\,kg}{0.74\,\frac{kg}{L} }\right)\cdot (1.04\,\frac{USD}{L} )

\Delta C = 217.517\,USD
