Answer:

The work is -6,497.54 J

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy transferred from one system to another by a force when a displacement occurs.

The work exchanged for a gas depends on the transformation it performs to go from the initial state to the final state.

The pressure - volume work done by a system that compresses or expands at constant pressure is given by the expression:

W= -P*ΔV

where

  • W is the work exchanged by the system with the environment. Its unit of measure in the International System is the joule (J), which is equivalent to  Pa*m³
  • P: Pressure. Its unit of measurement in the International System is the pascal (Pa).
  • ∆V: Volume variation (∆V = Vfinal - Vinitial). Its unit of measurement in the International System is cubic meter (m³)

In this case:

  • Wsystem=?
  • P= 5.63 atm=570,459.8 Pa (being 1 atm=101325 Pa)
  • ΔV=Vfinal - Vinitial= 15.61 L - 4.22 L= 11.39 L= 0.01139 m³ (being 1 L=0.001 m³)

Replacing:

W=  -570,459.8 Pa*0.01139 m³

Solving:

W=-6,497.54 J

<u><em>The work is -6,497.54 J</em></u>

To see a RED object, all the light is absorbed except the Red and that is what we see as the color True False
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that the vision phenomenon depends on three elements: the observer, the object and the light source.

In addition, objects have pigments, which generally absorb more light than they reflect (they absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others). Therefore, the color that a given object seems to have depends on which parts of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are reflected and which parts are absorbed.  

In this sense, the colours we see are in fact the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted from the object.  For example, a red object has that color because when it is illuminated whith white light, the pigments on this object abrsorb all the the wavelengths of the visible electromagnetic spectrum, except red. That is why red light is the only light that is reflected from the mentioned object.

From Young's experiment, how does the frequency of light affect the number of lines observed?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer : (C) "Higher frequencies have larger spaces between lines".

Explanation:

In Young's experiment, the condition for constructive interference is given by :

dsin\theta=n\lambda.........(1)

n is order or number of lines observed

d is distance between slits

\theta is the angle between the path and the line from screen to the slits.

We also know that, c=\nu \lambda

or

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{\nu}

where,

c is the speed of light

\nu is frequency

\lambda is wavelength

So, equation (1) turns into

dsin\theta=n\dfrac{c}{\nu}

\nu=\dfrac{n\ c}{d\ sin\theta}

So,

\nu\propto n

or

Higher frequencies have larger spaces between line.

So, correct option is (C).

What do organisms have based on their functions?
mote1985 [20]
Unicellular organisms, cells perform all the basic actions and functions required for living like nutrition, respiration, reproduction etc.

In multicellular organisms, cells divide their tasks on the basis of "DIVISION OF LABOUR" to specialize in certain functions besides respiration etc. Like conduction in neurons, excitation in muscles, RBC production by bone marrow etc.
