In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>
Explanation:
In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .
In isothermal process , the work done
W₁ = V x ΔP
here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure
Thus W₁ = 0
Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .
In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes
Thus W₂ = P x ΔV
here P is the pressure and ΔV is the change in volume
Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J
The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J
Because the work done in compression is negative .
-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² . That means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.
-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.
-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>
Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .
-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²
D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em> 78.4 meters</em>
-- At 32 floors per 100 meters, 78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.
The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.
