Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 $\frac{m }{s^{2}}$

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 $\frac{m }{s}$

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 $\frac{m }{s}$

Reflection;

Bounces back from an opaque material
Bounces back from the boundary of two mediums
Seen in mirrors

Refraction;

Passes through a prism
Moves from one medium to another
Seen in lenses

Reflection refers to the bouncing of waves such as light waves. It involves a change in direction of waves when they bounce off a barrier.

Refraction is the bending of waves when they move from one medium to another. It involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another.

A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy $=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
Initial pressure and volume are $p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\$

Final pressure and temperature are $p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2$
Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

$p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\$

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

$w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\$

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

$Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\$

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

$\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

Match the following:

joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

$Work=Force \times displacement$

$Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}$

7. power · time → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

$Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}$

$Energy=Power\times Time$

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy → heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
