Answer:

a) 0 J

b) W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

c) ΔQ = nRTln(Vf/Vi)

d) ΔQ = W

Explanation:

a) To find the change in the internal energy you use the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Q: heat transfer

W: work done by the gas

The gas is compressed isothermally, then, there is no change in the internal energy and you have

ΔU = 0 J

b) The work is done by the gas, not over the gas.

The work is given by the following formula:

\\W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

n: moles

R: ideal gas constant

T: constant temperature

Vf: final volume

Vi: initial volume

Vf < Vi, then W < 0 and the work is done on the gas

c) The gas has been compressed. Thus, its temperature increases and heat has been transferred to the gas.

The amount of heat is equal to the work done W

d)

\Delta U = \Delta Q-W\\\\0=\Delta Q-W\\\\\Delta Q=W=nRTln(\frac{V_f}{V_i})

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of this complex machine.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bicycle

Explanation:

A compound machine is a machine which is a combination of simple machines.

Simple machines are like the pulley, inclined plane or a screw.

Suppose a bicycle is considered, it has more than one simple machine combined together, for it to work. Wheel and axle is one of them and the beam which is pivoted at a fixed hinge is another simple machine in it.

The pedals of the bicycle function as the lever.

An electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the screen, perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic force F on a moving electron at right angle to a magnetic field is given by the formula:

F = BqVSinØ

If an electron moves in the plane of this screen toward the top of the screen. A magnetic field is also in the plane of the screen and directed toward the right. Then, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be perpendicular to the magnetic field

According to the Fleming's left - hand rule, the direction of the magnetic force on the electron will be moving out of the plane of the screen.
