Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only 8.00×104 Pa . Assum

e that air is an ideal gas, with γ=1.40. (This rate of cooling for dry, rising air, corresponding to roughly 1 ∘C per 100 m of altitude, is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate.)

Answer:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}.

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.  

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40

Finally, T2 will be:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Does Pepsi have more carbonation than coke
horsena [70]
Coke has more fizz than Pepsi, because Coke has more carbonation in it. Pepsi contains more sugar (2 more tablespoons) than Coke, so it tastes slightly sweeter to many people.

Light from the star Betelgeuse takes 640 years to reach Earth. How far away is Betelgeuse in units of light-years? Name any hist
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Betelgeuse is 640 light years away from earth.

Explanation:

A light-year is an astronomical unit to measure the distance the light travels in a calendar year.

If the light from a star takes 640 years to reach us, then that star its 640ly away from us.

Betelgeuse has been labeled as a Variant Star, which means that its brightness can fluctuate over the course of years, this has made difficult for astronomers to measure the exact distance of the star. Right now the star is estimated to be around 613 and 881ly away from earth, although, for the sake of your second question, we will take 640 years as our estimated value.

In 1380 (640 years ago) the Battle of Kulikovo took place. A battle of remarkable importance to Russian history, in which the Russian army, led by Prince Dmitry of Moscow, defeated the Mongol army, defining a turning point in the Mongol dominance, and setting the bases for what Russia is today.
