A cylinder with a piston contains 0.250 mol of oxygen at2.40x105 Pa and 355 K. The oxygen may be treated as an ideal gas.The gas

first expands isobarically to twice its original volume. Itis then compressed isothermally back to its original volume, andfinally it is cooled isochorically to its original pressure.
(a)Show the series of processes on a pV diagram.
(b) Compute thetemperature during the isothermal compression.
(c) Compute themaximum pressure.
(d) Compute the total work done by the piston onthe gas during the series of processes.

Answer:

= 285 Joules

Explanation:

a) answer can be found out in attachment

(b) The temperature for the isothermal compression is the same as the temp at the end of the isobaric expansion. Since pressure is held constant but volume doubles, we use the ideal gas law:

p V = nR T          to see that the temperature also doubles.

.So...   temp for isothermal compression =   355×2 = 710 K

.(c)   The max pressure occurs at the top point. At this point, the volume is back to the original value but the temperature is twice the original value. So the pressure at this point is twice the original, or

max pressure = 2×240000 Pa =  480000 Pa  =   4.80 x 10^5 Pa

(d) total work done by the piston = workdone during isothermal compression - work done during expansion =

=  nRT ln(V initial / V final)-p (V initial - V final)

=   nRT ln(2) - nR(T final - T initial)  

= 0.250× 8.314 ×710×ln(2)-0.250×8.314× (710 - 355)

=     285 Joules

A ____ is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- ____ isotope to decay.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A half-life is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- active isotope to decay.

Explanation:

A radio-active isotope is an isotope which undergoes radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which the nucleus of an atom changes its state (turning into a different nucleus, or de-exciting), emitting radiation, which can be of three different types: alpha, beta or gamma.

The half-life of a radio-active isotope is the time required for half of the nuclei of the initial sample to decay.

The law of radio-active decay can be expressed as follows:

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}

where

N(t) is the number of undecayed nuclei left at time t

N0 is the initial number of nuclei

t is the time

t_{1/2} is the half-life

We see that when t=t_{1/2} (that means, when 1 half-life has passed), the number of undecayed nuclei left is

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t_{1/2}/t_{1/2}}=N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^1=\frac{N_0}{2}

So, half of the initial nuclei.

The cable holding a 2125 kg elevator has a maximum strength of 21,750 N. What is the maximum upward acceleration the cable can g
vivado [14]

Answer:

10.23m/s^2

Explanation:

GIven data

mass of elevator = 2125 kg

Force= 21,750 N

Required

The maximum acceleration upward

F= ma

a= F/m

a=21,750/2125

a= 10.23m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2

Tanya [424]
The answer is A. <span>The component waves have different frequencies.
The magnitudes of reinforcement usually really dependent on the number of frequencies and interference is usually caused due to the difference in frequencies. So, we can conclude that if the frequencies are different and causing interference, the reinforcement will also different
