A cylinder with initial volume V contains a sample of gas at pressure p. On one end of the cylinder, a piston is let free to mov

e so that the gas slowly expands in such a way that its pressure is directly proportional to its volume. After the gas reaches the volume 3V and pressure 3p, the piston is pushed in so that the gas is compressed isobarically to its original volume V. The gas is then cooled isochorically until it returns to the original volume and pressure. Find the work W done on the gas during the entire process. Find the amount of work W done on the gas during the entire process. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables p and V.

Answer:

The work done on the gas = 2PV

Explanation:

In this question, we need to apply the basic gas laws to determine the word done.

For this question, we need to draw a PV diagram (a pressure-volume diagram), which I have made and attached in the attachment. So please refer to that attachment. I will be using this diagram to solve for the work done on the gas.

So, Please refer to the attachment number 1. where x -axis is of volume and y-axis is of pressure.

As we know that, the work done on the gas is equal to the area under the curve.

W = Area of the triangle

W = 0.5 x ( base) x ( height)

W = 0.5 x (BC) x (AC)

W = 0.5 x (3V-V) x (3P-P)

W = 2PV

Hence, the work done on the gas = 2PV

A proton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge Ze with velocity vo. Initially the two particles are very far apart. When
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The value is R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  initial velocity of the  proton is v_o

    At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is  v_1 =  \frac{1}{2}  v_o

    The  velocity considered is  v_2 =  \frac{1}{4}  v_o

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R  from the nucleus

 Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K  =  \Delta P

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K  =  K__{R}} -  K_i

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_1^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

So

           \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}

=>        - \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus

Here R_f represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is  \frac{1}{4} v_o

     Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K_f  =  \Delta P_f

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus  , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K_f   =  K_f -  K_i

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_2^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P_f  =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P_f  =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }  - 0      

So

          \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        - \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)

Divide equation 2  by equation 1

              \frac{- \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  } }   =  \frac{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}

=>           -\frac{15}{32 } *  -\frac{8}{3}   =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>           \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>             R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

A stone is dropped from a high cliff vertically. After 6
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Ay=v₂t + ½ gt² is the best choice to solve this problem.

The height of the cliff is = 176.4 meters.

Explanation:

Given,

initial velocity = 0m/s as it is dropped vertically

acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

time = 6s

Height =?

Using the equation Ay=v₂t + ½ gt², we can calculate Ay, which is the height.

So,

Ay=v₂t + ½ gt²

by substituting v, t, and g, we get:

Ay= 0 × 6 + ½ × 9.8 × 6²

Ay = 0 + 4.9 × 36

Ay = 176.4 m
