A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy=250\ \rm Btu/lb

Explanation:

Given:

  • Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
  • Initial pressure and volume are p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\
  • Final pressure and temperature are p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2
  • Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

Using a scale diagram, calculate the resultant force acting on a sailing boat when an easterly wind provides 2, point, 50, k, N,
EastWind [94]

Answer:

F = 3.6 kN, direction is 9.6º to the North - East

Explanation:

The force is a vector, so one method to find the solution is to work with the components of the vector as scalars and then construct the resulting vector.

Let's use trigonometry to find the component of the forces, let's use a reference frame where the x-axis coincides with the East and the y-axis coincides with the North.

Wind

X axis

          F₁ = 2.50 kN

Tide

         cos 30 = F₂ₓ / F₂

         sin 30 = F_{2y} / F₂

          F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 30

         F_{2y} = F₂ sin 30

         F₂ₓ = 1.20cos 30 = 1.039 kN

         F_{2y} = 1.20 sin 30 = 0.600 kN

the resultant force is

X axis

        Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ

        Fₓ = 2.50 +1.039

        Fₓ = 3,539 kN

        F_y = F_{2y}

        F_y = 0.600

to find the vector we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = \sqrt{F_x^2 +F_y^2}

         F = \sqrt{ 3.539^2 + 0.600^2 }

         F = 3,589 kN

the address is

         tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{F_y}{F_x}

         θ = tan⁻¹  \frac{0.6}{3.539}0.6 / 3.539

         θ = 9.6º

the resultant force to two significant figures is

         F = 3.6 kN

the direction is 9.6º to the North - East

What is escape velocity ​
DanielleElmas [232]
Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.

A scientist measures the growth of a bamboo plant over time. The table above shows the results. What is the best interference fo
lisabon 2012 [21]

(B) 2.25cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

At 40 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.1cm

At 50 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.4cm

Height of the bamboo plant after 45 hours = ?

The difference in length from 40 to 50 hours = 2.4 - 2.1cm

                                                                      = 0.3 cm

Mean of 40 and 50 is 45.

Thus,

At 45 hours, the height will increase by 0.3/2

                                                         = 0.15 cm

Height at 45 hour = 2.1 + 0.15cm

                           = 2.25cm

Therefore, the height of the plant after 45 hours is 2.25cm

Give a strong idea to protect , purify and the beautify of the Dal lake​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Water in dal lake is test for any heavy metals and pollutant, sewage and drainage system are also monitored for the same.

Explanation:

  • Dal lake is located in Srinagar that is the state capital of Kashmir and is known for recreation and tourism purposes. The area covers about 18 km sq. and forms a part of natural wetlands.
  • The lake is prone to pollution and has recently undergone restoration measures. To address the problems of eutrophication algae and large-scale microplankton have been removed from the water.
  • The government of India has taken various measures to check the pollution by setting up a committee to monitor the proper use of allotted funds.
