<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 14.72 kg

(b) 414 kJ

(c) 414 kJ

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) To get the mass of the air, the ideal gas equation will be used and is given as follows;

PV = mRT            ----------------(i)

Where;

P = pressure of the air = 3 bar = 3 x 10⁵Pa

V = volume of the air = 2m³

m = mass of air

R = specific gas constant of air = 287.05 \frac{J}{kgK}

T = temperature of the air = 142K

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = m x 287.05 x 142

6 x 10⁵ = m x 40761.1

600000 = 40761.1m

m = \frac{600000}{40761.1}

m = 14.72kg

Therefore, the mass of the air is 14.72 kg

(b) According to the question, the relationship between the pressure and the volume is given by

PV = k         (where k = constant)

This implies that;

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ = ... = k           -------------------(ii)

Where;

P₁ = initial pressure of air = 3 bar = 3 x 10⁵Pa

V₁ = initial volume of air = 2m³

P₂ = final pressure of air = 1.5 bar = 1.5 x 10⁵Pa

V₂ = final volume of air

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = 1.5 x 10⁵ x V₂

6 x 10⁵ = 1.5 x 10⁵V₂

6 = 1.5V₂

V₂ = \frac{6}{1.5}

V₂ = 4m³

Also, from equation (ii)

P₁V₁ = k               --------------(iii)

Substitute the values of P₁ and V₁ into equation (iii) as follows;

3 x 10⁵ x 2 = k

k = 6 x 10⁵ m³Pa

Recall that PV = k

This implies that;

P = \frac{k}{V}            ------------(iv)

Also, remember, in thermodynamics the work done, W, when a gas expands or compresses in volume is given by the following;

W = \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {P} \, dV

<em>Substitute the value of P in equation (iv) into the above equation as follows;</em>

W = \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {\frac{k}{V} } \, dV

W = k \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {\frac{1}{V} } \, dV

W = k \int\limits^{V_2}_{V_1} {V^{-1} } \, dV

<em>Integrating gives;</em>

W = k ln [V]                -----------------(v)

<em>Putting the values of the integral limits V₁ and V₂ </em>into equation (v)

W = k ln [V₂ - V₁]

<em>Substitute the values of k, V₂ and V₁ into equation above as follows;</em>

W = 6 x 10⁵ ln [4 - 2]

W = 6 x 10⁵ ln [2]

W = 6 x 10⁵ (0.69)

W = 4.14 x 10⁵

W = 414 kJ

Therefore, the work done is 414 kJ

(c) The heat transfer Q, the work done, W, and the change in internal energy, ΔU, in a thermodynamic system are related by the following relation;

Q - W = ΔU                  ----------(vi)

If the values of P₂, V₂ are substituted into equation (i) to find the value of T₂, it will be found that T₁ and T₂ are the same. i.e T₁ = T₂ = 142K. Therefore, the change in internal energy, ΔU = 0.

Equation (vi) the becomes

Q - W = 0

Q = W            [Substitute the value of W = 414 kJ]

Q = 414 kJ

Therefore, the heat transfer is 414 kJ

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The electric current from the batteries installed in a radio supplies direct current (DC) electricity to the radio components directly as an alternative source to the Alternating Current (AC) converted to DC by the power unit located at the radio end of the cable plugged into the wall outlet.

Explanation:

Part of the power unit in a radio includes an AC to DC converter, which is an electrical circuit that is able to convert the alternating current power input from the wall outlet into a direct current output to the radio with which the radio can work

The alternative source of electric current from the batteries installed in a radio bypasses the AC to DC converter and supplies power directly to the radio so it can also work.

With a very precise volumetric measuring device, the volume of a liquid sample is determined to be 6.321 L (liters). Three stude
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Three students measure the volume of a liquid sample which is 6.321 L.

- Each student measured the liquid sample 4 times. The data is provided for each measurement taken by each student as follows:

                                                 Students

                      Trial          A            B               C

                         1            6.35        6.31          6.38

                        2            6.32        6.31          6.32

                        3            6.33        6.32         6.36

                        4            6.36        6.35         6.36

- We will define the two terms stated in the question " precision " and "accuracy"

- Precision refers to how close the values are to the sample mean. The dense cluster of data is termed to be more precise. We will use the knowledge of statistics and determine the sample standard deviation for each student.

- The mean measurement taken by each student would be as follows:

                       E ( A ) = \frac{6.35 +6.32+6.33+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( A ) = 6.34\\\\E ( B ) = \frac{6.31 +6.31+6.32+6.35}{4} \\\\E ( B ) = 6.3225\\\\E ( C ) = \frac{6.38 +6.32+6.36+6.36}{4} \\\\E ( C ) = 6.355\\

- The precision can be quantize in terms of variance or standard deviation of data. Therefore, we will calculate the variance of each data:

 

                        Var ( A ) = \frac{6.35^2+6.32^2+6.33^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.34^2\\\\Var ( A ) = 0.00025\\\\Var ( B ) = \frac{6.31^2+6.31^2+6.32^2+6.35^2}{4} - 6.3225^2\\\\Var ( B ) = 0.00026875\\\\Var ( C ) = \frac{6.38^2+6.32^2+6.36^2+6.36^2}{4} - 6.355^2\\\\Var ( C ) = 0.000475\\

- We will rank each student sample data in term sof precision by using the values of variance. The smallest spread or variance corresponds to highest precision. So we have:

                   Var ( A )          <          Var ( B )        <    Var ( C )

                   most precise                                      Least precise

- Accuracy refers to how close the sample mean is to the actual data value. Where the actual volume of the liquid specimen was given to be 6.321 L. We will evaluate the percentage difference of sample values obtained by each student .

                       P ( A ) = \frac{6.34-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.30058\\\\P ( B ) = \frac{6.3225-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.02373\\\\P ( C ) = \frac{6.355-6.321}{6.321}*100= 0.53788\\

- Now we will rank the sample means values obtained by each student relative to the actual value of the volume of liquid specimen with the help of percentage difference calculated above. The least percentage difference corresponds to the highest accuracy as follows:

                   P ( B )         <       P ( A )         <      P ( C )

            most accurate                                least accurate
