A gas is confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. A massless wire is attached to the piston. When an external

pressure of 2.03 bar is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 6.40 to 3.20 L . When the external pressure is increased to 2.53 bar, the gas further compresses from 3.20 to 2.56 L .
In a separate experiment with the same initial conditions, a pressure of 2.53 bar was applied to the gas, decreasing its volume from 6.40 to 2.56 L in one step.

If the final temperature was the same for both processes, what is the difference between q for the two-step process and q for the one-step process in joules?

 <span>Note that internal energy is a state function. That means internal energy of the gas can be expressed as function of two state variables, e.g. U = f(T;V). For an ideal gas internal function can be expressed of temperature alone. But is not necessary to make ideal gas assumption to solve this problem. 
Because internal energy is a state function, a process changing from state 1 to state 2 has always the same change change in internal energy irrespective of the process design. 
The one-step compression and the two two-step compression start at the sam state and end up in same state. the gas undergoes the same change in internal energy: 
∆U₁ = ∆U₂ 
The change in internal energy of the gas equals the heat added to the gas plus work done on it: 
Hence, 
Q₁ + W₁ = Q₂ + W₂ 
So the difference in heat transfer between the two process is: 
∆Q = Q₂ - Q₁ = W₁ - W₂ 

The work done on the gas is given by piston is given by the integral 
W = - ∫ P_ex dV from V_initial to V_final 
For constant external pressure like in this problem this simplifies to 
W = - P_ex ∙ ∫ dV from V_initial to V_final 
= P_ex ∙ (V_initial - V_final) 


I hope my guide has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always!</span>

Answer:

q in case of two -step process will be less in magnitude than q in case of one step process.

Explanation:

Heat q given to a system is used in 1) increasing the internal energy of the gas

and 2) work done in increasing the volume . If there is decrease in volume , work done is negative.

In both the cases change in internal energy of the gas is same as the rise in temperature is same.  But work done which is negative in nature will have greater value in one step process. It is so because work done is equal to external pressure multiplied by change in volume. Change in volume is same but external pressure is more in case of two step process. Hence negative work done is more in case of two step process. Hence q in case of two step process will be lesser.

 q = change in internal energy - work done on the gas.

1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

A 28 kg rock falls freely near the surface of the Earth. Approximately how much gravitational force is exerted by the Earth on t
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer :Force is exerted by the Earth on the rock is 280 N .

Given :

Mass of rock falling falling , m = 28 kg .

Acceleration due to gravity , g=10\ m/s^2 .

We need to find the force exerted by the earth on the rock .

Let force exerted be F .

Now , we know by Newton's Law Of Motion .

F = ma     .......( 1 )

Here , m is  mass and a is acceleration in this case it is g=10\ m/s^2 .

Putting all these value in equation( 1 ) we get ,

F=28\times 10\\\\F=280\ N

Therefore, this is the required solution .

When a car suddenly stops at a red light, a book lying on the car seat slides forward. Why does the book continue to move forwar
goblinko [34]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The answer is c because Newton’s third law states “ for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Since the car quit moving the book did not stay at rest because there was a reaction.
