The sound you hear as the siren gets closer will increase in pitch and that will decrease as it moves away from you.

Explanation:
Sound is a longitudinal pressure wave. As the ambulance moves closer to you, the air molecules get compressed together. The wavelength of the sound (these pressure waves) decreases, and the frequency increases. That results in a higher sound pitch.

A piston/cylinder contains 2 kg of water at 20◦C with a volume of 0.1 m3. By mistake someone locks the piston, preventing it fro
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Hi

Final temperature = 250.11 °C

Final volume = 0,1 m3.

Process work = 0

Explanation:

The specific volume in the initial state is: v = 0.1m3/2 kg = 0.05 m3/kg.

This volume is located between the volumes as saturated liquid and saturated steam at 20 °C. For this reason the water is initially in a liquid vapor mixture. As the piston was blocked the volume remains constant and the process is isometric, also known as isocoric process, so the final temperature will be the water temperature at a saturated steam of v=0.05m3/kg, which is obtained by using steam tables for water, by linear interpolation. As follows, using table A-4 of the Cengel book 7th Edition:

v=0.05 m3/kg

v1=0.057061 m3/kg

T1=242.56°C

v2=0.049779 m3/kg

T2=250.35°C

T=\frac{T2-T1}{v2-v1} x(v-v1)+T1=\frac{250.35°C-242.56°C}{0.049779m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg}x(0.05m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg)+242.56°C=250.11°C

The process work is zero because there is no change in volume during heating:

W=PxΔv=Px0=0

where

W=process work

P=pressure

Δv=change of volume, is zero because the piston was blocked so the volume remains constant.
