Complete Question:

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the following closed cycle: - Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm3. - Isochoric cooling to 400 K . - Isothermal compression to 1000 cm3. - Isochoric heating to 500 K .

a) what is the work for one cycle

b) what is the thermal efficiency

Answer:

a) Work done for 1 cycle = 402.13

b) Thermal efficiency = 20%

Explanation:

Number of moles, n = 0.300 mol

Initial Volume, V₁ = 1000 cm³

Temperature, T = 500 K

Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm³

Final volume, V₂ = 5000 cm³

R = 8.314 J/ mol.K

Work done, W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = (0.3 * 8.314 * 500) * ln(5000/1000)

W = 1247.1 * ln5

W₁ = 2007.13 J

Isochoric cooling

In an Isochoric process, volume is constant i.e. V₂ = V₁ = V

W = nRT ln(V/V)

But  ln(V/V) = ln 1 = 0

Work done, W₂ = 0 Joules

Isothermal Compression to 1000 cm³

V₂ = 1000 cm³

V₁ = 5000 cm³

W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = 0.3 * 8.314 * 400 ln(1000/5000)

W₃ = -1605 J

Isochoric heating to 500 K

Since there is no change in volume, no work is done

W₄ = 0 J

a) Work done for 1 cycle

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 2007.13 + 0 + 0 -1605+0

W = 402.13 Joules

b) Thermal efficiency

Thermal efficiency = (Net workdone for 1 cycle)/(Heat absorbed)

Heat absorbed = Work done due to thermal expansion = 2007.13 J

Thermal efficiency = 402.13/2007.13

Thermal efficiency = 0.2

Thermal efficiency = 0.2 * 100% = 20 %

Find the weight of a 25 kg table. (Use g= 10 m/s?)
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

weight = 25*10 =250 N

Explanation:

g must be given in units of m/s^2

The weight of any type of body will be the product of his mass by the gravity

where:

m =mass [kg]

F = force [N] or [kg*m/s^2]

g = acceleration [m/s^2]

Select the options that best complete the statement.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Positively charged particle trajectories always follow electric field lines because the electric force on a positively charged particle is in the same direction as the electric field.

Explanation:

For any positive charge the electric field emerges radially outwards and it goes radially inwards for the negative charges.

  • From the theory of electric field lines we know that they never intersect each other, either they get merged when the sources are unlike or they repel when the sources are alike. In other words the electric field lines align in the same direction as that of the field.
  • So, when a positive charge is released into the an electric field they follow the direction of the field lines because they too have their field lines emerging radially outwards and hence these lines align in the direction of the field.
