How much gravitational potential energy does an object have if it is located 20 m above the point that we define as O height and

raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

PE = mgh where m is the mass in kg, g is the pull of gravity which is 9.8, and h is the height of the object above the point to which it could possibly fall, measured in meters. Plugging in:

PE = 10(9.8)(20) so

PE = 1960 J

This should be rounded to 1 sig fig according to the rules of sig fig and your numbers here, but I imagine you're not following them all that much. It should be 2000 J

Air expands isentropically from 2.2 MPa and 77°C to 0.4 MPa. Calculate the ratio of the initial to the final speed of sound.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The ratio of initial to final speed of sound is given as 1.28.

Explanation:

As per the thermodynamic relation of isentropic expansion

$\frac{T_2}{T_1}=(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1}{k}}$

Here

$P_1$ is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 2.2 MPa
$T_1$ is the temperature at point 1 which is given as 77 °C or 273+77=350K

$P_2$ is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 0.4 MPa
$T_2$ is the temperature at point 2 which is to be calculated
k is the ratio of specific heats given as 1.4

Substituting values in the equation

$\frac{T_2}{350}=(\frac{0.4}{2.2})^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\frac{T_2}{350}=(0.18)^{0.2857}\\T_2=(0.18)^{0.2857} \times 350 \\T_2=0.61266 \times 350\\T_2=214.43 K$
