A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 29.1 L at a pressure of 733 mmHg and a temperature of 24.7 ∘C. The balloon rises in

the atmosphere to an altitude where the pressure is 365 mmHg and the temperature is -14.5 ∘C. Assuming the balloon can freely expand, calculate the volume of the balloon at this altitude.

Answer:

volume balloon  5.06 10⁻² m³

Explanation:

The balloon is inflated with air, which in the first instance behaves like an ideal gas, which has as an equation

    PV = n R T

Where R is the ideal gas constant that is worth 8.314 J / mol K.

Let's use the initial data to calculate the number of moles of gas in the balloon that remains constant, but first we reduce all quantities to the SI system

    V1 = 29.1 L (1 m2 / 1000 L) = 29.1 10⁻³ m³

    P1 = 733 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.964 10⁵ Pa

    T1 = 24.7 + 273.15 = 297.85K

    P2 = 365 mmHg (1 105 Pa / 760 mmHg) = 0.480 10⁵ Pa

    T2 = -14.5 +273.15 = 258.65K

Let's clear and calculate the number of moles

    n = P V / R T

    n = P1 V1 / R T1

    n = 0.964 10 5 29.1 10⁻³ / (8.314 297.85)

    n = 1.13 moles

With the data of the second part we clear the volume and calculate

   V = n R T / P

   V2 = n R T2 / P2

   V2 = 1.13 8.314 258.65 /0.480 10⁵

   V2 = 5.062 10⁻² m³

Answer: 50.8 L

Explanation: Using the Combined Gas Law:

PV/T = C

Hence: P1*V1/T1 = C

Using the first scenario we will find value of C:

V1 = 29.1 L = 0.0291 m^3

P1 = 733 mmHg = 97725.3 Pa

T1 = 24.7 C = 297.85 K

C = (0.0291 * 97725.3)/297.85 = 9.56

Use value of C to find V2:

P2 = 365 mmHg = 48662.7 Pa

T2 = -14.5 C = 258.65 K

C = 9.56

V2 = C*T2/P2 = (9.56 * 258.65)/48662.7 = 0.0508 m^3

Hence Volume of balloon at higher altitude = 0.0508 m^3 = 50.8 L

Thepotemich [5.8K]

<u>First law of thermodynamics:</u>

  • It states that <em>"Energy neither be created nor it can be destroyed". </em>simply it converts one form of energy into another form.
  • It is also known as<em> "law of conservation of energy"</em>

<u>Limitations of First law</u>

  1. It doesn't provide a clear idea about the direction of transfer of heat.
  2. It doesn't provide the information that how much heat energy converted inti work.
  3. Its not given any practical applications.

<u>II law of thermodynamics:</u>

It states that <em>"the total entropy of the system can never decrease over time"</em>

It is strongly proved by two laws, they are

<em>1. Kelvin-plank statement:</em>

      He stated that "any engine does not give 100% efficiency". It violates the Perpetual motion of machine II kind<em>(PMM-II).</em>

<em>2. Classius statement: </em>

<em>    </em><em>    It states that "Heat always flows from high temperature body to low temperature body, without aid of external energy". </em>

<em>          Also it stated that " Heat can also be transferred from low temperature body to high temperature body, by the aid of an external energy".</em>

<em>Applications of II law: </em>

<em>Refrigeration &Air conditioning, Heat transfer, I.C. engines, etc.</em>

A person sits at rest on a chair. The gravitational force on the person (their weight) is one half of an action-reaction pair. W
Feliz [49]

Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

If a person is sitting on a chair , there must be a gravitation force acting in downward direction which is equal to the weight of that person . That means the person is exerting a force on the chair equal to its weight . But the person is not falling down the chair , because of newtons third law of motion .

There must be a counter force which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the person on the chair , in order to make net force equal to zero and to make that man in stationary state ( no movement )  .That force is called Normal force which is been acted by the chair on the person .This implies Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?
SSSSS [86.1K]
You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

             (6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²)  =  3.158 seconds  (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.
