A 24-cm-diameter vertical cylinder is sealed at the top by a frictionless 15 kg piston. The piston is 90 cm above the bottom whe

n the gas temperature is 315 ∘C. The air above the piston is at 1.00 atm pressure.

Answer:

(A) P_i=3249.41\ Pa

(B) V_f=0.3358\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • diameter of the cylinder, d= 0.24\ m
  • mass of piston sealing on the top, m_p=15\ kg
  • initial temperature of the piston, T_i=315+273= 588\ K
  • initial height of piston, h_i=0.9\ m
  • atmospheric pressure on the piston, p_a=1 atm=101325\ Pa

(A)

<u>Initial pressure of gas is the pressure balanced by the weight of piston:</u>

P_i=\frac{m_p.g}{\pi.d^2\div 4}

P_i=\frac{15\times 9.8}{\pi\times (0.24^2\div 4)}

P_i=3249.41\ Pa

<em>Which is gauge pressure because it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure.</em>

(B)

Given:

  • Final temperature, T_f=18+273=291\ K

<u>Now, volume of air initially in the cylinder:</u>

V_i=\pi.d.h_i

V_i=\pi\times 0.24\times 0.9

V_i=0.6786\ m^3

Using gas law:

\frac{P_i V_i}{T_i}= \frac{P_f V_f}{T_f} ........................................(1)

<em>∵In every condition of equilibrium the gas pressure will be balanced by the weight of the piston so it is an </em><em>isobaric transition</em><em>.</em>

∴P_i=P_f

<u>Hence eq. (1) is reduced to:</u>

\frac{V_i}{T_i}= \frac{V_f}{T_f}

putting respective values:

\frac{0.6786}{588}= \frac{V_f}{291}

V_f=0.3358\ m

Answer:

The arrows always start at the magnet's north pole and point towards its south pole. When two like-poles point together, the arrows from the two magnets point in OPPOSITE directions and the field lines cannot join up. So the magnets will push apart (repel).

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
