Answer:
The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.
the specific volumes are:
initial = 0.062 m^3/kg
final = 0.027 m^3/kg.
Then, the specific work can be written as:
The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.
Now, to write it in more common units we have that:
1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.
-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
Answer:
The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.
Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy
Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall
=
Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy
+
=
+
(a)
When banana is at height h, it has
= 0 and
= mgh
and when it reaches the river, it has
= 1/2m
and
= 0
Putting the values in equation (a)
0 + mgh = 1/2m + 0
mgh = 1/2m
<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>
<em> </em>gh = 1/2
v =
Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is
v =
