Answer:

Hi

Final temperature = 250.11 °C

Final volume = 0,1 m3.

Process work = 0

Explanation:

The specific volume in the initial state is: v = 0.1m3/2 kg = 0.05 m3/kg.

This volume is located between the volumes as saturated liquid and saturated steam at 20 °C. For this reason the water is initially in a liquid vapor mixture. As the piston was blocked the volume remains constant and the process is isometric, also known as isocoric process, so the final temperature will be the water temperature at a saturated steam of v=0.05m3/kg, which is obtained by using steam tables for water, by linear interpolation. As follows, using table A-4 of the Cengel book 7th Edition:

v=0.05 m3/kg

v1=0.057061 m3/kg

T1=242.56°C

v2=0.049779 m3/kg

T2=250.35°C

T=\frac{T2-T1}{v2-v1} x(v-v1)+T1=\frac{250.35°C-242.56°C}{0.049779m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg}x(0.05m3/kg-0.057061m3/kg)+242.56°C=250.11°C

The process work is zero because there is no change in volume during heating:

W=PxΔv=Px0=0

where

W=process work

P=pressure

Δv=change of volume, is zero because the piston was blocked so the volume remains constant.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m

If the ankylosaurs starts running and accelerates at 1.3m/s^2 for 3 seconds how far does he make it before the velociraptor catc
sveta [45]

Acceleration is the change of velocity, and velocity is the change of distance. The opposite of finding change, or differentiation, is integration.

Acceleration = 1.3 m/s²

Velocity: ∫ 1.3 dx = 1.3x + c m/s

Distance: ∫ 1.3x dx = 1.3x²/2 + c m

Distance run: 1.3*3²/2 = 5.85 m
