In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the <em>magnitude of velocity</em>.

(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)

A frictionless pulley used to lift 8000N of concrete. What is the minimum effort required to raise the block

rusak2 [61]

Answer: 8000N

Explanation: since it is frictionless that means it has 100% efficiency therefore the mechanical advantage is 1 meaning the load equals to the effort

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature $(T_i)=300 K$

$P_i=10 atm$

$P_f=2 atm$

Work done in iso-thermal process $=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$

$P_i$ =initial pressure

$P_f$ =Final Pressure

$W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J$

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is $=P\Delta V$

$V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L$

$V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L$

$\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J$

$\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J$

$\Delta U=0$

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a

mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

$\Delta U=Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

$Q$ is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

$W$ is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

$W=-150 kJ$ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

$\Delta U=+60 kJ$ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

$Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ$

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

X-rays cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere. Which of these is the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays f

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
