Answer:

a) the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ

b) the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of water vapor m = 10 kg

initial pressure P₁ = 550 kPa

Initial temperature T₁ = 340 °C

steam cooled at constant pressure until 60 percent of it, by mass, condenses; x = 100% - 60% = 40% = 0.4

from superheated steam table

specific volume v₁ = 0.5092 m³/kg

so the properties of steam at p₂ = 550 kPa, and dryness fraction

x = 0.4

specific volume v₂ = v_f + xv_{fg

v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.4( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )

v₂ = 0.1377 m³/kg

Now, work done during the process;

W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )

W = 10 × 550( 0.1377 - 0.5092 )

W = 5500 × -0.3715

W = -2043.25 kJ

Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2043.25 kJ

( The negative, indicates work is done on the system )

b)

What would the work done be if steam were cooled at constant pressure until 80 percent of it, by mass, condenses

x₂ = 100% - 80% = 20% = 0.2

specific volume v₂ = v_f + x₂v_{fg

v₂ = 0.001097 + 0.2( 0.34261 - 0.001097 )

v₂ = 0.06939 m³/kg

Now, work done during the process will be;

W = mP₁( v₂ - v₁ )

W = 10 × 550( 0.06939 - 0.5092 )

W = 5500 × -0.43981

W = -2418.96 kJ

Therefore, the work (W) done during the process is -2418.96 kJ

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i

here we know that

P_1 = P_2

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv

now from above equation we have

P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)

mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

The mean diameters of Mars and Earth are 6.9 ✕ 103 km and 1.3 ✕ 104 km, respectively. The mass of Mars is 0.11 times Earth's mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

(a) Ratio of mean density is 0.735

(b) Value of g on mars 0.920 m,/sec^2

(c) Escape velocity on earth is 3.563\times 10^4m/sec

Explanation:

We have given radius of mars R_{mars}=6.9\times 10^3km=6.9\times 10^6m and radius of earth R_{E}=1.3\times 10^4km=1.3\times 10^7m

Mass of earth M_E=5.972\times 10^{24}kg

So mass of mars M_m=5.972\times\times 0.11 \times 10^{24}=0.657\times 10^{24}kg

Volume of mars V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (6.9\times 10^6)^3=1375.357\times 10^{18}m^3

So density of mars d_{mars}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{0.657\times 10^{24}}{1375.357\times 10^{18}}=477.69kg/m^3

Volume of earth  V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (1.3\times 10^7)^3=9.198\times 10^{21}m^3

So density of earth d_{E}=\frac{mass}{volume}=\frac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{9.198\times 10^{21}}=649.271kg/m^3

(A) So the ratio of mean density \frac{d_{mars}}{d_E}=\frac{477.69}{649.27}=0.735

(B) Value of g on mars

g is given by g=\frac{GM}{R^2}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times0.657\times 10^{24}}{(6.9\times 10^6)^2}=0.920m/sec^2

(c) Escape velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 0.657\times 10^{24}}{6.9\times 10^6}}=3.563\times 10^4m/sec

The two particles are both moving to the right. Particle 1 catches up with particle 2 and collides with it. The particles stick
Travka [436]

Answer:

c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.

In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.  

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.  If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>

Therefore,

a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.

d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1
