A thin partition divides a thermally insulated vessel into a lower compartment of volume V and an upper compartment of volume 2V

. The lower compartment contains n moles of an ideal gas; the upper part is evacuated.When the partition is removed, the gas expands and fills both compartments. How many moles n of gas were initially contained in the lower compartment if the entropy change of the gas in this free-expansion process is 17.28 J/K?

Answer:

1.89mol

Explanation:

The entropy change during free expansion is express as

S_{f}-S_{i}=nRln(\frac{V_{F}}{V_{I}})\\

Where S is the entropy of the system,

            n is the amount of mole

             R is the gas constant = 8.314 and

           V is the volume occupied at the initial and final stage

since the process is n adiabatic free expansion, the entropy of the system is constant. Hence we can re-write the equation as

S=nRln(\frac{V_{F}}{V_{I}})\\

where the  V_{i}=v\\ and V_{f}=2v+v=3v\\

S=17.28J/k\\ and

R=8.314\\

Now if we substitute in values we arrive at

17.28=(8.314)n*ln(\frac{3v}{v} )\\17.28=(8.314)n*ln(3 )\\17.28=(8.314)n*1.0986\\n=\frac{17.28}{8.314*1.0989}\\n=1.89 mole\\

what is the force of friction between an 80kg box and the ground on Earth if the coefficient is 0.2?​
Reil [10]

Answer:

160N

Explanation: When 80kg mass is one group . It's reaction force acting on a ground.

Weight of the object = 80*10

= 800 N

Here we are given cofficient of static friction its 0.2. It should be smaller than 1

Friction force = Reaction * Friction Cofficient

Reaction = 800N ( Considering Vertical Equilibrium )

F = 800* 0.2

F = 160N

A charged particle of mass 0.0050 kg is subjected to a 5.0 T magnetic field which acts at a right angle to its motion. If the pa
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

0.01 C

Explanation:

Applying,

F = qvBsinФ................ Equation 1

Where F = Force on the charged particle, q = charge on the particle, v = velocity, B = magnetic field, Ф =  angle

Since the charged particle noves in a circle,

F = mv²/r................. Equation 2

Where m = mass of the particle, v = velocity of the particle, r = radius of the  circle

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mv²/r = qvBsinФ

make q the subject of the equation

q = mv/(rBsinФ)............. Equation 3

Given: m = 0.005 kg, v = 2 m/s, r = 0.2 m, B = 5 T, Ф = 90° (Act at right angle)

Substitute these values into equation 3

q = (0.005×2)/(0.2×5×sin90°)

q = 0.01/(1)

q = 0.01 C

How much energy is transferred in 10 seconds with a current of 13 amperes and a potential difference of 230 volts?​
Serhud [2]

29900 J

Explanation:

Recall that

P = VI

= (230 volts)(13 A)

= 2990 watts

Also,

E = Pt

= (2990 watts)(10 s)

= 29900 J

What are the first three overtones of a bassoon that has a fundamental frequency of 90.0 Hz? It is open at both ends. (The overt
vekshin1

Answer:

f_{2}=180Hz,f_{3}=270Hz,f_{4}=360Hz\\

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency f=90 Hz

To find

First three overtones of bassoon

Solution

The fundamental frequency of bassoon is found by substituting n=1 in below equation

f=v/λ=nv/2L

f_{1}=v/2L

The first overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=2

So

f_{2}=2v/2L\\f_{2}=2(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{2}=2f_{1}\\f_{2}=2(90Hz)\\f_{2}=180Hz

The second overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=3

So

f_{3}=3v/2L\\f_{3}=3(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{3}=3f_{1}\\f_{3}=3(90Hz)\\f_{3}=270Hz

The third overtone of bassoon is found by substituting n=4

So

f_{4}=4v/2L\\f_{4}=4(v/2L)\\as \\f_{1}=v/2L\\So\\f_{4}=4f_{1}\\f_{4}=4(90Hz)\\f_{4}=360Hz
