A piston raises a weight, then lowers it again to its original height. If the process the system follows as the piston rises is

isothermal, and as it falls is isobaric, then is the work done by the gas positive, negative, or zero? Explain

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamic also known as the  law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

The first law relates  relates changes in internal energy to heat added to a system and the work done by a system by the conservation of energy.

The first law is mathematically given as ΔU  = U_{F} - U_{0} = Q - W

Where Q  = Quantity of heat

            W = Work done

From the first law The internal energy has the symbol U. Q is positive if heat is added to the system, and negative if heat is removed; W is positive if work is done by the system, and negative if work is done on the system.

Analyzing the pistol when it raises in isothermal and when it falls in  isobaric state.The following can be said:

In the Isothermal compression of a gas there is work done on the system to decrease the volume and increase the pressure. For work to be done on the system it is a negative work done then.

In the Isobaric State An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure. Since the pressure is constant, the force exerted is constant and the work done is given as PΔV.If a gas is to expand at a constant pressure, heat should be transferred into the system at a certain rate.Isobaric is a fuction of heat which is Isothermal Provided the pressure is kept constant.

In Isobaric definition above it can be seen that " Heat should be transferred into the system ata certain rate. For heat to be transferred into the system work is deinitely been done on the system thereby favouring the negative work done.

A block of mass 2 kg slides down a frictionless ramp of length 1.3 m tilted at an angle 25o to the horizontal. At the bottom of
marin [14]

Answer:

Diagrams in pictures

Explanation:

Using energy I can get

m g h = 1/2 m v^2

So the velocity at the end of the ramp is the squareroot of two times the initial height of the box times the gravity constant.

(H= 1,3m sin25)

V=2,32m/s

V= a t

And

X= v t +1/2 a t^2

Knowing v=2,32 m/s and x= 1,3 m

I can get

a= 6,21m/s2

F= m a

I can get the force of the box when it collides with the spring

F= 12, 425 N

The force the spring makes on the box then is

F = -12,425N = -k d

Then the spring's constant is k= 51,75N/m

To make the two diagrams I need the functions of time when the box slows down

I use the same two equations

V= a t

And

X= v t + 1/2 a t^2

Being now 2,32 my initial velocity and 0 my final velocity, and my distance 0,24 m.

I get there the time t=0,0689 seconds and the acceleration a= -33,67 m/s2 (negative because it's slowing down).

Then,

V(t)= - 33,67 m/s2 t for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

X(t)= 2,32 m/s t + 1/2 33,67 m/s2 t^2.

for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

Diagrams and equations are in the pictures

The atom in the diagram has a neutral charge how many protons does it have
Olegator [25]

Explanation:

This should be of help:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

A neutral atom is an atom that has not lost or gained any amount of electrons.

In a neutral atom;

                the number of protons and electrons are the same

 Usually atoms are designated this way:

                                                  ᵃₙX

  where X is the symbol of the atom

               a is the mass number of the atom

                n is the atomic number of the atom

 The mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

        Atomic number = number of protons

Note; atomic number is the same as the number protons and the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>
