Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is solved using the law of conservation of energy,
So
The answer is C. Hope this helps.
Answer:
∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp
Explanation:
Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2
Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT
where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.
When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas
We say
1/2mv^2 = ∆u
1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T
Since n = m/M
1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M
Making ∆T subject of the formula we have
∆T = Mv^2/2Cv
Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp
∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp
Since Y = Cp/CV
∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k
Since CV = R/Y - 1
We could also have
∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k
False because currents do not flow easily through insulators. If it only said conductors, then it would be true.
