Answer: 80J
Explanation:
According to the first principle of thermodynamics:
<em>"Energy is not created, nor destroyed, but it is conserved." </em>
Then this priciple (also called Law) relates the work and the transferred heat exchanged in a system through the internal energy
, which is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed. So, in this especific case of the compressed gas:
(1)
Where:
is the variation in the internal (thermal) energy of the system (the value we want to find)
is the heat transferred out of the gas (that is why it is negative)
is the work is done on the gas (as the gas is compressed, the work done on the gas must be considered positive )
On the other hand, the work done on the gas is given by:
(2)
Where:
is the constant pressure of the gas
is the variation in volume of the gas
In this case the initial volume is
and the final volume is
.
This means:
(3)
Substituting (3) in (2):
(4)
(5)
Substituting (5) in (1):
(6)
Finally:
This is the change in thermal energy in the compression process.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
i just finished a chapter about this
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)
Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)
Distance = 10,000 m
This question is not complete.
The complete question is as follows:
One problem for humans living in outer space is that they are apparently weightless. One way around this problem is to design a space station that spins about its center at a constant rate. This creates “artificial gravity” at the outside rim of the station. (a) If the diameter of the space station is 800 m, how many revolutions per minute are needed for the “artificial gravity” acceleration to be 9.80m/s2?
Explanation:
a. Using the expression;
T = 2π√R/g
where R = radius of the space = diameter/2
R = 800/2 = 400m
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
1/T = number of revolutions per second
T = 2π√R/g
T = 2 x 3.14 x √400/9.8
T = 6.28 x 6.39 = 40.13
1/T = 1/40.13 = 0.025 x 60 = 1.5 revolution/minute
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
