The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
1 answer:
Answer:
When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases
Explanation:
The ideal gas equation states that:
where
p is the gas pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles of gas
R is the gas constant
T is the gas temperature
Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as
which means the following:
- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases
- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases

Answer:
(a) W = 650J
(b) Wf = 529.2J
(c) W = 0J
(d) W = 0J
(e) ΔK = 120.8J
(f) v2 = 2.58 m/s
Explanation:
(a) In order to find the work done by the applied force you use the following formula:
(1)
F: applied force = 130N
d: distance = 5.0m
The work done by the applied force is 650J
(b) The increase in the internal energy of the box-floor system is given by the work done of the friction force, which is calculated as follow:
(2)
μ: coefficient of friction = 0.300
M: mass of the box = 36.0kg
g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2
The increase in the internal energy is 529.2J
(c) The normal force does not make work on the box because the normal force is perpendicular to the motion of the box.
(d) The same for the work done by the normal force. The work done by the gravitational force is zero because the motion of the box is perpendicular o the direction of the gravitational force.
(e) The change in the kinetic energy is given by the net work on the box. You use the following formula:
(3)
You calculate the total work:
(4)
F: applied force = 130N
Ff: friction force
d: distance = 5.00m
The friction force is:
Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (4):
The change in the kinetic energy of the box is 120.8J
(e) The final speed of the box is calculated by using the equation (3):
(5)
v2: final speed of the box
v1: initial speed of the box = 0 m/s
You solve the equation (5) for v2:
The final speed of the box is 2.58m/s
