Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When gas is compressed then molecules of gas will come closer to each other. Though molecules already had kinetic energy and on compressing the molecules will collide more rapidly with each other.

As a result, energy will be released in the form of heat. Thus, there will be rise in temperature.

Hence, we can conclude that when a gas is compressed, the molecules are pushed closer together causing the gas to rise in temperature.

The answer is "rise in temperature". Think of when you're in a crowded place. When it's crowded it gets hot because of the energy radiating off of everyone around you.

Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.30 ss . If a rider's mass is 58.0 kgkg , with how much force does the ring push on her at

Stells [14]

Answer:

422.36 N

Explanation:

given,

time of rotation = 4.30 s

T = 4.30 s

Assuming the diameter of the ring equal to 16 m

radius, R = 8 m

$v = \dfrac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \dfrac{2\pi\times 8}{4.30}$

v = 11.69 m/s

now, Force does the ring push on her at the top

$- N - m g = \dfrac{-mv^2}{R}$

$N + m g = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}$

$N = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}- m g$

$N = m(\dfrac{v^2}{R}- g)$

$N = 58\times (\dfrac{11.69^2}{8}- 9.8)$

N = 422.36 N

The force exerted by the ring to push her is equal to 422.36 N.

For Valentine’s Day, Sally received a helium-filled balloon at a party. On returning home she accidentally left the balloon in t

Softa [21]

Answer:

If the temperature of the air in the balloon is less than the temperature of the air surrounding the balloon then the balloon will appear slightly deflated because of the difference in temperature.

As the temperature of the air in the balloon reaches the surrounding air temperature, then the balloon will appear to be fully inflated because the temperature of the air in the balloon is the same as the surrounding air temperature.

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 $\frac{m}{s}$

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = $\frac{0-8}{-9.8}$

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Temperature and pressure of a region upstream of a shockwave are 295 K and 1.01* 109 N/m². Just downstream the shockwave, the te

seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant $\gamma =1.4$

specific heat is given as $=\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}$

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

$Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

specific heat at constant volume

$Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}$

change in internal energy $= Cv(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta U = 717.5 (800-295) = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in enthalapy $\Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)$

$\Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}$

change in entropy

$\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})$

$\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})$

$\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}$
