Answer:

173.45 K

Explanation:

This an Adiabatic process because no energy is lost by thermal conduction on expansion. We will be using this Adiabatic condition and ideal gas equation to solve the question.

From idea gas equation;

                            PV = nRT

                            P = \frac{nRT}{V}     -----(1)

where

P is pressure of the gas

V is volume of the gas

n is number of moles

R is gas constant 8.31441 J K-1 mol-1.

T is temperature in Kelvin

For Adiabatic Condition;

                   P_{1}V_{1}^{k} = P_{2}V_{2}^{k}          ----(2)

Substituting equation(1) into equation(2)

                   \frac {nRT_{1}V_{1}^{k}}{V_{1}} = \frac{nRT_{2}V_{2}^{k}}{V_{2}}

Eliminating the constants and simplify with exponent

                   T_{1}V_{1}^{(k-1)} = T_{2}V_{2}^{(k-1)}  

Making T₂ the subject of the formula;

                   T_{2} = \frac {T_{1}V_{1}^{(k-1)}}{V_{2}^{(k-1)}}

The temperature when the initial volume has quadrupled ⇒ V₂ = 4V₁

                   ⇒ \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = 4

Since air is diatomic, we assume k = 1.4

                    ∴ T_{2} = T_{1} \frac {V_{1}}{V_{4}}^{(k-1)}

                       T_{2} = 302 K \frac {1}{4}^{(1.4-1)}

                       T_{2} = 302 K \frac {1}{4}^{(0.4)}

                       T₂ = 173.45 K

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

a) the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b) the speed of the wave 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

time period = to complete one cycle t = 5 sec

frequency f = 1/t

frequency f = 1 / 5sec

f = 0.2 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b)

speed of wave V = λf

given that our wavelength is 20.0 m

we substitute

speed of wave V = 20.0 × 0.2

speed of wave V = 4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave 4 m/s

Two coils have the same number of circular turns and carry the same current. Each rotates in a magnetic field acting perpendicul
ANEK [815]

Answer:

4.14 cm.

Explanation:

Given,

For Coil 1

radius of coil, r₁ = 5.6 cm

Magnetic field, B₁ = 0.24 T

For Coil 2

radius of coil, r₂ = ?

Magnetic field, B₂ = 0.44 T

Using formula of maximum torque

\tau_{max}= NIAB

Since both the coil experience same maximum torques

now,

NIA_1B_1 = NIA_2B_2

A_1B_1 = A_2B_2

r_1^2 B_1 = r_2^2 B_2

5.6^2\times 0.24= r_2^2\times 0.44

r_2 = 4.14\ cm

Radius of the coil 2 is equal to 4.14 cm.
