Answer:

work will be positive when it is under polytropic expansion process

Explanation:

It states a polytropic process with n equal to 1.67. there is a polytropic expansion that mean work is positive and if it was polytropic compression then it would be negative

$PV^n = const$

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Also work during the process of polytropic is given as

$W_{1-2} =\frac{P_1V_1 -P_2V_2}{n-1}$

the work will be positive when it is under the polytropic expansion process

Answer:

# kelvin_to_celsius function is defined

# it has value_kelvin as argument

def kelvin_to_celsius(value_kelvin):

# value_celsius is initialized to 0.0

value_celsius = 0.0

# value_celsius is calculated by

# subtracting 273.15 from value_kelvin

value_celsius = value_kelvin - 273.15

# value_celsius is returned

return value_celsius

# celsius_to_kelvin function is defined

# it has value_celsius as argument

def celsius_to_kelvin(value_celsius):

# value_kelvin is initialized to 0.0

value_kelvin = 0.0

# value_kelvin is calculated by

# adding 273.15 to value_celsius

value_kelvin = value_celsius + 273.15

# value_kelvin is returned

return value_kelvin

value_c = 0.0

value_k = 0.0

value_c = 10.0

# value_c = 10.0 is used to test the function celsius_to_kelvin

# the result is displayed

print(value_c, 'C is', celsius_to_kelvin(value_c), 'K')

value_k = 283.15

# value_k = 283.15 is used to test the function kelvin_to_celsius

# the result is displayed

print(value_k, 'is', kelvin_to_celsius(value_k), 'C')

A particle moving on a straight line has acceleration a = 5-3t, and its velocity is 7 at time t = 2. If s(t) is the distance fro

Vikki [24]

Given acceleration a = 5-3t, and its velocity is 7 at time t = 2, the value of s2 - s1 = 7

<h3>How to solve for the value of s2 - s1</h3>

We have

= $\frac{dv}{dt} =v't = 5-3t\\\\\int\limits^a_b {v'(t)} \, dt$

$= \int\limits^a_b {(5-3t)} \, dt$

$5t - \frac{3t^2}{2} +c$

v2 = 5x2 - 3x2 + c

= 10-6+c

= 4+c

$s(t) = \frac{5t^2}{2} -\frac{t^3}{2} +3t + c$

S2 - S1

$=(5*\frac{4}{2} -\frac{8}{2} +3*2*c)-(\frac{5}{2} *1^2-\frac{1^2}{2} +3*1*c)$

= 6 + 6+c - 2+3+c

12+c-5+c = 0

7 = c
