The volume of 1 kg of helium in a piston-cylinder device is initially 5 m3. Now helium is compressed to 2 m3 while its pressure

is maintained constant at 180 kPa. Determine the work required to compress helium, in kJ.

Answer:

-540 kJ

Explanation:

P = Pressure which is applied to the piston = 180 kPa

V_2 = Final volume = 2 m³

V_1 = Initial volume = 5 m³

Work done is given by

W=P\Delta V\\\Rightarrow W=P(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow W=180000(2-5)\\\Rightarrow W=180000\times -3\\\Rightarrow W=-540000\ J\\\Rightarrow W=-540\ kJ

The work required to compress helium is -540 kJ

pshichka [43]

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release.

What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground ?

The parameters given are:

Height H = 100m

Since the ball is thrown from a top of a building, initial velocity U = 0

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 2 × 9.8 × 100

V^2 = 200 × 9.8

V^2 = 1960

V = 44.27 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground is 44.3 m/s approximately
