Answer:

Work done = = 5 kJ
Explanation:
Given data:
volume of nitrogen 



Polytropic exponent n = 1.4
![\frac{T_2}{T_1} = [\frac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BT_2%7D%7BT_1%7D%20%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7BP_2%7D%7BP_1%7D%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bn-1%7D%7Bn%7D)
putting all value
![\frac{T_2}{473} = [\frac{80}{150}]^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BT_2%7D%7B473%7D%20%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B80%7D%7B150%7D%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1.4-1%7D%7B1.4%7D)

polytropic process is given as



work done 

= 5 kJ
Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
Explanation:
1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse
2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt
J is Impulse
f is the force applied during the time Δt
A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)
A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.
Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object. Heat is energy on the move.
Units of heat are units of energy. The SI unit of energy is Joule. Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.
Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object. Two objects of different temperature always interact. There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another. They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
Given required solution
M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J
