Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!Oct 7, 2014

A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy $=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
Initial pressure and volume are $p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\$

Final pressure and temperature are $p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2$
Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

$p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\$

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

$w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\$

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

$Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\$

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

$\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

What is newton's second law of motion?

lord [1]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
