Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial

ly at p1 = 10 psi, T1 = 600°F, V1 = 1 ft. The paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu (by work) to the air to a final state of P2 = 5 psi, V2 = 3 ft. You may neglect potential and kinetic energy changes. Mair = 28.97 lbm/bmol. Find the mass of air in the closed chamber [lbm), the temperature at state 2 [OR], and the work done by the air to the piston (Btu).

Our data are,

State 1:

P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K

State 2:

P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3

We know as well that 3BTU=3.16kJ/K

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

P_1V_1=mRT_1

Re-arrange for m,

m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Replacing,

T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

W = m C_v = 0.718  \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU

Find the force between 2C and -1C separated by a distance 1m. Indicate if it is an attractive force (negative) or a repulsive fo
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Its definitely an Attractive force since the two charges are Unlike.

From Coulombs Law

F=kq1q2/R²

Given

K=9x10^9

R=1m

q1=2C

q2=-1C

F=(9x10^9 x 2 x -1)/1²

F= - 1.8x10^10N. (Attractive).

Ruff, the 50 cm tall Labrador Retriever stands 3m from a plane mirror and looks at his image. What is Ruffs image position and h
GaryK [48]
Ruff's image is 50m behind the mirror surface and the image is also 3m tall.

This is because it is a plane mirror.
