A cylinder with a movable piston contains a sample of ideal gas. A temperature probe and a pressure probe are inserted into the

cylinder, as shown above. The sample of gas is taken through a three-step cycle, ABCA In process AB, the volume is decreased to 1/4 its original value while constant pressure is maintained

Answer:

i. The values for the graph are;

Volume Pressure

1                  1

1/4               1

1                   1/4

1                   1

The graph is attached

ii. Energy is added to the system.

Explanation:

i) Here we note that Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

Therefore;

T₁/V₁ = T₂/V₂

Where V₂ = V₁/4, we have;

T₁/V₁ = T₂/(V₁/4) = 4×T₂/V₁

T₁ =  4×T₂

Therefore, T₂ = T₁ /4

In process BC, whereby the gas expands isothermally to original volume, we have; according to Boyle's law

P₁·V₁  = P₂·V₂

V₁ = 4·V₂

∴ P₁·4·V₂  = P₂·V₂

4·P₁  = P₂

Process CA, gas returns to initial state with T₂ = T₁ /4

Therefore, we have from Pₐ·Vₐ/Tₐ = P₁·V₁/T₁

Where the volume remain constant, we have Gay Lussac's Law which states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature, therefore

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Hence; whereby the temperature changes from T₂ to T₁ and T₂ = T₁ /4, we have P₁ = 4·P₂

Therefore, the pressure increases by a factor of 4 × 4 = 16.

Please find the graph attached

ii) Given that the gas expands to its original volume V₁, such that V₁ = 4·V₂, also work done, W is given as follows;

W = nRTln\frac{v_f}{v_i} = nRTln\frac{v_1}{v_2} \ \because  v_f =v_1 \ and \ v_i = v_2 \ also \ v_1 = 4\cdot v_2

Therefore;

W = nRTln\frac{4\cdot v_2}{v_2} \ \therefore W = nRTln(4)

Hence, as n, R, and T are all positive values, W is positive, energy is added to the system.

The length and width of a rectangular room are measured to be 3.92 ± 0.0035 m and 3.15 ± 0.0055 m. In this problem you can appro
Pavel [41]

Answer:

A)A=12.2480\ m^2

B)12.2480\pm 0.1029\ m^2

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Length of the room l= 3.92 ± 0.0035

Width of the room w= 3.15 ± 0.0055

A) Let A be the area of the room

A=l\times w\\A=3.92\times3.15\\A=12.2480\ \rm m^2

B)We will calculate uncertainty in each dimension

%uncertainty in length=\dfrac{0.0035}{3.92}\times 100=0.0892\ %

%uncertainty in width =\dfrac{0.0055}{3.15}\times 100=0.0174%

The uncertainty in area will be sum of uncertainty in length and width

%uncertainty in Area=  %uncertainty in length + %uncertainty in width

%uncertainty in Area=0.0892\ % + 0.0174\ %

%uncertainty in Area=0.0106

Uncertainty in Area=0.0106\times 12.2480=0.1029\ \rm m^2

There Area is12.2480 ± 0.1029\ \rm m^2

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

air above a wild fire

Explanation:

the type of current formed in the pot is referred to as a convectional current which forms when the heated fluid rises making the cool fluid descend the same happens with the air above a wildfire a convectional current will form when the warm air rises and the cool air descends.the main reason for tge descending and ascending is that the air or liquid closest to the source of heat will get heated making it lighter but the air or liquid tgat was further from the source of heat will not be as light so as the warm fluid rises, the cool fluid descends.
