How does a gas do work?

2 answers:

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! (:

Compute the resistance in ohms of a copper block 5.0 cm long and 0.10 cm2 in cross-sectional area. (ρ = 1.77 × 10-6 ohm-cm)

soldier1979 [14.2K]

R=ρ l/a
l=5 cm
a=0.10 cm²
ρ=1.77×10∧-6 Ωcm
R=(1.77×10∧-6) ×5/0.10
=8.85 ×10∧-5 Ω

resistance is directly proportional to length and inversly proportional to area of cross section is given by above equation

You move to Mars and as a momento from Earth take your Ma-maw's mercury barometer. You place it outside in the Martian atmospher

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, the reading is not expected to be accurate. This is because Relative to Earth, the air on Mars is extremely thin. The Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide with a much lower surface pressure, and Mars does not have oceans and an Earthlike hydrological cycle so latent heat release is not as important as it is for Earth.

a straight, 2.5-m wire carries a typical household current of 1.5 a (in one direction) at location where the earth's magnetic fi

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is $F=2.1*10^{-4}N$

The direction is from south to north i.e upward

The magnitude of the force is $F=2.1*10^{-4}N$

The direction is towards the west

The magnitude of the force is $F=2.1*10^{-4}N$

the direction of the magnetic field is parallel to the direction of the current (south to north ) hence the direction in 0 in comparison to the direction of the current

From the value of force we got the answer to this question is No

Explanation:

Generally magnetic force is mathematically represented as

$F = BIL$

Where the B is the magnitude of the magnetic field which is given as

$B= 0.55 guass = \frac{0.55}{10000} = 0.55 *10^{-4}T$

$I$ is the current with a value of $I = 1.5A$

L is the length of the wire given as $L =2.5m$

Substituting the value

$F =(0.55 *10^ {-4}) (1.5)(2.5)$

$F=2.1*10^{-4}N$

For the first case where the current is moving from west to east and we are told that the magnetic field is from south to north the according to Fleming's right hand rule the force(exerted by earths magnetic field ) would be moving from south to north (i.e upward)

For the second case where current is moving vertically upwards the direction of the force is to the west according to Fleming's right hand rule

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride.

Mashcka [7]

The amount of work which Sam does need to stop the boat is 784Joule if boat mass is 800kg and boat drift in 1.4m/sec.

We know that according to work-energy theorem, change in kinetic energy of the body from one speed to another is equivalent to amount of work done by all forces acting on the body.

So, here we can see that final speed of boat is =0m/sec since Sam need to stop it.

Initial speed of boat is 1.4m/sec.

Also, we know that kinetic energy is given by the below formula:

Kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

where m is the mass of the body

and v is the speed of the body

Now, from work energy theorem, we get

=>W=(1/2)m $v^2_2$ - (1/2)m $v^2_1$

=>W=0-(1/2)×800×(1.4)²

=>W= - 400× 1.4 × 1.4

=>W = -400×1.96

=>W= -784Joule

Here negative sign denotes work has to done against the original motion of boat.

Hence, amount of work needs to be done by Sam is 784Joule.

Scientists have concluded that the uppermost part of the mantle is partially-molten. Which observation helped them reach this co

Olenka [21]

Answer:

P and S waves slow down when they reach this layer. The asthenosphere, also known as the magma chamber, is the uppermost component of the mantle. This layer is partially molten and is a ductile zone in a tectonically poor state.

It's almost hard and seismic waves move through the asthenosphere at a slow rate. The fragile lithosphere and the uppermost portion of the asthenosphere are assumed to be rigid.

seismic waves travel more quickly through denser materials and therefore generally travel more quickly with the depth it moves more slowly through a liquid than a solid. Molten areas within the Earth slow down P waves and stop S waves because their shearing motion cannot be transmitted through a liquid. Partially molten areas may slow down the P waves and attenuate or weaken S waves.

hope this helps...
