Air is heated in a glass bottle. The heat energy added to the air is 2.0 × 104 joules. What is the change in internal energy of
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The change in internal energy of the gas is \Delta U = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J.

In fact, the 1st law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of heat given to the system (Q) plus the work done on the system (W):
\Delta U = Q+W
In this example, no work is done on the bottle so W=0, while the heat given to the system is Q=2.0 \cdot 10^4 J, so the change in internal energy of the gas is
\Delta U = Q = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J

a particle that has a mass of 2.5 kg is moving in the positive X-direction with a constant velocity of 1.6m/s. Suddenly a consta
malfutka [58]
The particle has a constant horizontal velocity, and a vertical force won't affect the horizontal speed, so it should be fairly easy to find the last part, "the time taken for a 10m horizontal displacement," using a kinematic equation.
X = x + vt + (1/2)at²
10 = 0 + (1.6)t + (1/2)(0)t²
10/1.6 = t
t = 6.25s

So now we have to find the vertical displacement over 6.25 seconds on a particle of a 2.5kg mass with a force of 8N.
Start with Newton's second law.
F = ma
8 = (2.5)a
a = 3.2m/s²

Now, use kinematics again.
Y = y + vt + (1/2)at²
Y = 0 + (0)(6.25) + (1/2)(3.2)(6.25)²
Y = <u>62.5m</u>

A bicycle tire is spinning counterclockwise at 2.70 rad/s. During a time period At 1.90 s, the tire is stopped and spun in the o
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a) -5.40 rad/s

b) -2.842 rad/s²

Explanation:

The direction is important in dealing with such questions. Clockwise is considered negative and counterclockwise is considered positive

a) Δω = final angular velocity - initial angular velocity

          = -2.70 rad/s - 2.70 rad/s

          = -5.40 rad/s

b) ∝ = Δω/Δt = (-5.40 rad/s)/1.90s = -2.842 rad/s²
