Answer:

The heat builds pressure

Explanation:

Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Explanation:

The Workdone, W, in accelerating a charge, 2e, through a potential difference, V is given as a product of the charge and the potential difference

W = (2e) × V = 2eV

And this work is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = Δ(kinetic energy) = ΔK.E

But since the charge starts from rest, initial velocity = 0 and initial kinetic energy = 0

ΔK.E = ½ × (mass) × (final velocity)²

(Velocity)² = (2×ΔK.E)/(mass)

Velocity = √[(2×ΔK.E)/(mass)]

ΔK.E = W = 2eV

mass = 4m

Final Velocity = √[(2×W)/(4m)]

Final Velocity = √[(2×2eV)/4m]

Final Velocity = √(4eV/4m)

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Hope this Helps!!!

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

W= 4.89 KJ

Explanation:

Lets take

temperature of hot water T₁ = 100⁰C

T₁ = 373 K

Temperature of cold ice T₂= 0⁰C

T₂ = 273 K

The latent heat of ice LH= 334 KJ

The heat rejected by the engine Q= m .LH

Q₂= 0.04 x 334

Q₂= 13.36 KJ

Heat gain by engine = Q₁

For Carnot engine

Q_1=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}Q_2

Q_1=\dfrac{373}{273}\times 13.36

Q₁  = 18.25 KJ

The work W= Q₁  - Q₂

W= 18.25 - 13.36 KJ

W= 4.89 KJ
