At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?
Answer:
3.01L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure, P1 = 1.7atm
Initial volume, V1 = 4.25L
Final pressure, P2 = 2.4atm
Unknown:
Final or new volume, V2 = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 final pressure
V2 final volume
1.7 x 4.25 = 2.4 x V2
V2 = 3.01L
It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.
In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:

So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.
Explanation:
Work done is given by the product of force and displacement.
Case 1,
1. A boy lifts a 2-newton box 0.8 meters.
W = 2 N × 0.8 m = 1.6 J
2. A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters.
W = 5 N × 0.8 m = 4 J
3. A boy lifts a 8-newton box 0.2 meters.
W = 8 N × 0.2 m = 1.6 J
4. A boy lifts a 10-newton box 0.2 meters.
W = 10 N × 0.2 m = 2 J
Out of the four options, in option (2) ''A boy lifts a 5-newton box 0.8 meters'', the work done is 4 J. Hence, the greatest work done is 4 J.
Answer:
the mass of water is 0.3 Kg
Explanation:
since the container is well-insulated, the heat released by the copper is absorbed by the water , therefore:
Q water + Q copper = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)
Q water = - Q copper
since Q = m * c * ( T eq - Ti ) , where m = mass, c = specific heat, T eq = equilibrium temperature and Ti = initial temperature
and denoting w as water and co as copper :
m w * c w * (T eq - Tiw) = - m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq)
m w = m co * c co * (T co - Ti eq) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
We take the specific heat of water as c= 1 cal/g °C = 4.186 J/g °C . Also the specific heat of copper can be found in tables → at 25°C c co = 0.385 J/g°C
if we assume that both specific heats do not change during the process (or the change is insignificant)
m w = m co * c co * (T eq - Ti co) / [ c w * (T eq - Tiw) ]
m w= 1.80 kg * 0.385 J/g°C ( 150°C - 70°C) /( 4.186 J/g°C ( 70°C- 27°C))
m w= 0.3 kg
