Answer:
A) K / K₀ = 4 b) v / v₀ = 4
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy
in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)
starting point. At the position of maximum displacement
Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²
final point. In the equilibrium position
= K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ k 4 x₀² = K
(½ K x₀²) = K₀
K = 4 K₀
K / K₀ = 4
B) the speed value
½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²
v = 4 (k / m) x₀
if we call
v₀ = k / m x₀
v = 4 v₀
v / v₀ = 4
Answer:
The pressure is constant, and it is P = 150kpa.
the specific volumes are:
initial = 0.062 m^3/kg
final = 0.027 m^3/kg.
Then, the specific work can be written as:
The fact that the work is negative, means that we need to apply work to the air in order to compress it.
Now, to write it in more common units we have that:
1 kPa*m^3 = 1000J.
-5.25 kPa*m^3/kg = -5250 J/kg.
