How does a gas do work?

2 answers:

8 0

Your answer would be C, "By conserving energy"! A gas can do work through something called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat that energy used by the gas during this "work" cannot be created or destroyed however it can be transferred and converted. This energy can only be stored during these processes, not removed. An example of this would be gas in a cylindrical object such as a piston. When the gas is heated, it expands and moves the piston upwards. When it expands, it stores that energy it gains through the heat given.

I hope this helps! (:

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?

denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box = 85N

Distance moved = 15m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

Work done = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Work done = 85 x 15 = 1275J

Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below.

Irina18 [472]

The force the horse and the rider exerts on the wall is equal to the weight combined acting in the opposite direction:

<h3>Force</h3>

Given Data

mass of horse and rider = 575kg

Force acting on wall = ??

When a body of mass rests on a surface, it exerts a force equal to the weight of the mass but opposite in direct on the mass/object

hence the force is computed as

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 575 * 9.81

Force = 5640.75N

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = $\frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}$

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = $\frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}$

C' = $\frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}$

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

$k=\frac{C'}{C}$

substituting the values, we get

$k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}$

k = 2.279
