Answer:

The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.

Explanation:

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.

In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).

Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.

Any two application of gravity
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

A mole of ideal gas expands at T=27 °C. The pressure changes from 20 atm to 1 atm. What’s the work that the gas has done and wha
Airida [17]

Answer:

  • The work made by the gas is 7475.69 joules
  • The heat absorbed is 7475.69 joules

Explanation:

<h3>Work</h3>

We know that the differential work made by the gas  its defined as:

dW =  P \ dv

We can solve this by integration:

\Delta W = \int\limits_{s_1}^{s_2}\,dW = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv

but, first, we need to find the dependence of Pressure with Volume. For this, we can use the ideal gas law

P \ V = \ n \ R \ T

P = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V}

This give us

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{V} \ dv

As n, R and T are constants

\int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} P \ dv = \ n \ R \ T \int\limits_{v_1}^{v_2} \frac{1}{V} \ dv

\Delta W= \ n \ R \ T  \left [ ln (V) \right ]^{v_2}_{v_1}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ( ln (v_2) - ln (v_1 )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln (\frac{v_2}{v_1})

But the volume is:

V = \frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P}

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_2}}{\frac{\ n \ R \ T}{P_1}} )

\Delta W = \ n \ R \ T  ln(\frac{P_1}{P_2})

Now, lets use the value from the problem.

The temperature its:

T = 27 \° C = 300.15 \ K

The ideal gas constant:

R = 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol}

So:

\Delta W = \ 1 mol \ 8.314 \frac{m^3 \ Pa}{K \ mol} \ 300.15 \ K  ln (\frac{20 atm}{1 atm})

\Delta W = 7475.69 joules

<h3>Heat</h3>

We know that, for an ideal gas, the energy is:

E= c_v n R T

where c_v its the internal energy of the gas. As the temperature its constant, we know that the gas must have the energy is constant.

By the first law of thermodynamics, we know

\Delta E = \Delta Q - \Delta W

where \Delta W is the Work made by the gas (please, be careful with this sign convention, its not always the same.)

So:

\Delta E = 0

\Delta Q = \Delta W

Which of the following statements does NOT accurately describe the Berlin Airlift?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Berlin Airlift is best described as the aircraft used to delivered needed food and supplies to the city of Berlin through the air because all other routes were blocked by the Soviet Union.

<h3>What is Berlin Airlift?</h3>

The Berlin airlift was a 1940s military operation that supplied West Berlin with food and other vital goods by air after the Soviet Union blockaded the city.

Thus, the Berlin Airlift is best described as the aircraft used to delivered needed food and supplies to the city of Berlin through the air because all other routes were blocked by the Soviet Union.
