Answer:

Work is done by the gas = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ

Explanation:

Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV

Pressure, P = 3.7 x 10⁵ Pa

Change in volume, ΔV = 1.6 m³

Substituting the values of pressure and change in volume we will get

Work done at fixed pressure, W = PΔV = 3.7 x 10⁵ x 1.6 = 5.92 x 10⁵ J

Work is done by the gas = 5.92 x 10⁵ J = 592 kJ

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h from the starting ga

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

h = 40.37 m

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of energy to the skier in this case, as follows:

$Energy\ of\ skier\ at\ the\ gate = Energy\ of\ Skier\ at\ the\ end\\P.E + K.E_{i} = K.E_{f} - W_{friction}\\mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2 - W_{friction}\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}m(v_{f}^2-v_{i}^2) - W_{friction}$

where,

m = mass of skier = 77 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

vf = final speed = 30 m/s

vi = initial speed = 2 m/s

W_friction = Work done by friction and air resistance = 4000 J

Therefore,

$(77\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = \frac{1}{2}(77\ kg)[(30\ m/s)^2-(2\ m/s)^2] - 4000\ J\\\\h = \frac{34496\ J - 4000\ J}{755.37\ N}\\\\$

It is easier to swim in Ocean than in a water

irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ocean contains salty water which causes the object to float rather than sinking, So yes it's easy to swim in ocean than water without salt.

A movable piston having a mass of 8.00 kg and a cross-sectional area of 5.00 cm2 traps 0.430 moles of an ideal gas in a vertical

svp [43]

We can assume the process to be adiabatic such that we can make use of the formula:
W = R (T2 - T1) / (γ - 1)
W = 8.314 (297 - 17) / (1.4 - 1)
W = 700 J/mole
multiplying the number of moles
W = 700 (0.43)
W = 301 J
The work done is 301 J.
