<u>Answer:</u>

The acceleration of the car is 3.13 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity 15 m/s. It then accelerates for 4.25 s and in the end its velocity is 28.3 m/s.

initial velocity u = 15 m/s

time t=4.25 s

final velocity v=28.3 m/s

The equation of acceleration is

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}

= \frac{(28.3-15)}{4.25} =  \frac {13.3}{4.25} =3.13m/s^2

The value of acceleration is positive, here since the car is speeding up. If it was slowing down the value of acceleration would be negative.

Derivation 1.2 showed how to calculate the work of reversible, isothermal expansion of a perfect gas. Suppose that the expansion
stellarik [79]

Answer:

(a) The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) The entropy change of the gas is equal to zero.

Explanation:

(a) The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 4 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 240 K

= initial volume of gas  =  

= final volume of gas  =  

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

The work done by the gas on the surroundings is, 17537.016 J

(b) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas.

As per first law of thermodynamic,

where,

= internal energy

q = heat

w = work done

As we know that, the term internal energy is the depend on the temperature and the process is isothermal that means at constant temperature.

So, at constant temperature the internal energy is equal to zero.

Thus, w = q = 17537.016 J

Formula used for entropy change:

The entropy change of the gas is, 73.0709 J/K

(c) Now we have to calculate the entropy change of the gas when the expansion is reversible and adiabatic instead of isothermal.

As we know that, in adiabatic process there is no heat exchange between the system and surroundings. That means, q = constant = 0

So, from this we conclude that the entropy change of the gas must also be equal to zero.

Describe how the kidney and bladder work together to remove waste from the body. (2 points)
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder. When the bladder is full, a person urinates through the urethra to eliminate the waste.
