Answer: 11.4 cal

Explanation:

The amount of heat absorbed by the sample is given by:

Q = m c ΔT

where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of mass by 1°C.

⇒Q = 10.0 g × 0.057 cal/g °C × 20.0° C = 11.4 cal

Thus, 11.4 calories would be absorbed by the sample of silver.

Since the specific heat of silver is given to be 0.057 calories/gram*C, obtaining the amount of calories should be as easy as multiplying the specific heat by the given values of the weight and the temperature to do unit cancellation. This is shown below:

(<span>0.057 calories/gram*C</span>)(10 grams)(20 C) = 11.4 calories

A cylinder with initial volume V contains a sample of gas at pressure p. On one end of the cylinder, a piston is let free to mov
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The work done on the gas = 2PV

Explanation:

In this question, we need to apply the basic gas laws to determine the word done.

For this question, we need to draw a PV diagram (a pressure-volume diagram), which I have made and attached in the attachment. So please refer to that attachment. I will be using this diagram to solve for the work done on the gas.

So, Please refer to the attachment number 1. where x -axis is of volume and y-axis is of pressure.

As we know that, the work done on the gas is equal to the area under the curve.

W = Area of the triangle

W = 0.5 x ( base) x ( height)

W = 0.5 x (BC) x (AC)

W = 0.5 x (3V-V) x (3P-P)

W = 2PV

Hence, the work done on the gas = 2PV

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 V used in the United States. Therefore "100-W" European bulb
Maslowich

Explanation:

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 V used in the United States.

100-W European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference.

(a) If V = 220 V and P = 100 W

Power :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{100}\\\\R=484\ \Omega

If you bring a "100-W" European bulb home to the untied States, what should be its US power rating. So,

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{(120)^2}{484}\\\\P=29.75\ W

or

P = 29.8 watts

(b) Let I is the current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States. So,

I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{120}{484}\\\\I=0.248\ A

Hence, this is the required solution.
