Answer:

W = 3/2 n (T₁- T₂)

Explanation:

Let's use the first law of thermodynamics

           ΔE = Q + W

in this case the cylinder is insulated, so there is no heat transfer

           ΔE = W

internal energy can be related to the change in temperature

            ΔE = 3/2 n K ΔT

we substitute

           3/2 n (T₂-T₁) = W

as the work is on the gas it is negative

            W = 3/2 n (T₁- T₂)

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing
Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

m = m_{1}=m_{2}

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Along X- axis

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}

v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i

v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s

Along Y-axis

0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}

v_{1}=-v_{2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s

Then the final speed of the first ball

v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}

v_{1}=1.95\ m/s

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}

\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}

\theta=-44.16^{\circ}

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.259 of the speed of light.
Vladimir79 [104]
If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:

Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s

Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c

Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c

Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c

Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s

Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.

Answer: 27000 km/s

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.
