An experimenter adds 970 J of heat to 1.75 mol of an ideal gas to heat it from 10.0∘C to 25.0∘C at constant pressure. The gas do
ipn [44]

Answer:

(a) ΔU=747J

(b) γ=1.3

Explanation:

For (a) change in internal energy

According to first law of thermodynamics the change in internal energy is given as

ΔU=Q-W

Substitute the given values

ΔU=970J-223J

ΔU=747J

For(b) γ for the gas.

We can calculate γ by ratio of heat capacities of the gas

γ=Cp/Cv

Where Cp is the molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cv is the molar heat capacity at constant volume

To calculate γ we first need to find Cp and Cv

So

For Cp

As we know

Q=nCpΔT

Cp=(Q/nΔT)

C_{p}=\frac{970J}{1.75mol*(25^{o}C-10^{o}C )}\\C_{p}=37J/mol.K

From relation of Cv and Cp we know that

Cp=Cv+R

Where R is gas constant equals to 8.314J/mol.K

So

C_{v}=C_{p}-R\\C_{v}=37-8.314\\C_{v}=28.687J/mol.K\\

So

γ=Cp/Cv

γ=[(37J/mol.K) / (28.687J/mol.K)]

γ=1.3

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t
uranmaximum [27]
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the
Brrunno [24]

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.


Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.


In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.


Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.



Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.


Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.


Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.
