we assume the acceleration is constant. we choose the initial and final points 1.40s apart, bracketing the slowing-down process. then we have a straightforward problem about a particle under constant acceleration. the initial velocity is v xi ​ =632mi/h=632mi/h( 1mi 1609m ​ )( 3600s 1h ​ )=282m/s (a) taking v xf ​ =v xi ​ +a x ​ t with v xf ​ =0 a x ​ = t v xf ​ −v xf ​ ​ = 1.40s 0−282m/s ​ =−202m/s 2 this has a magnitude of approximately 20g (b) similarly x f ​ −x i ​ = 2 1 ​ (v xi ​ +v xf ​ )t= 2 1 ​ (282m/s+0)(1.40s)=198m

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)

W = 810.6 J

Explanation:

a.

Using first law of thermodynamics:

Q = ΔU + W

where,

Q = Heat Absorbed = 500 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy of Gas = ?

W = Work Done = PΔV =

P = Pressure = 2 atm = 202650 Pa

ΔV = Change in Volume = 10 L - 6 L = 4 L = 0.004 m³

Therefore,

Q = ΔU + PΔV

500 J = ΔU + (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

ΔU = 500 J - 810.6 J

<u>ΔU = - 310.6 J (negative sign indicates decrease in internal energy)</u>

<u></u>

b.

The work done can be simply calculated as:

W = PΔV

W = (202650 Pa)(0.004 m³)

<u>W = 810.6 J</u>

water vapor contained in a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal expansion at 240°c from a pressure of 7 bar to a pre
mafiozo [28]

The ideal gas constant is a proportionality constant that is added to the ideal gas law to account for pressure (P), volume (V), moles of gas (n), and temperature (T) (R). R, the global gas constant, is 8.314 J/K-1 mol-1.

According to the Ideal Gas Law, a gas's pressure, volume, and temperature may all be compared based on its density or mole value.

The Ideal Gas Law has two fundamental formulas.

PV = nRT, PM = dRT.

P = Atmospheric Pressure

V = Liters of Volume

n = Present Gas Mole Number

R = 0.0821atmLmoL K, the Ideal Gas Law Constant.

T = Kelvin-degree temperature

M stands for Molar Mass of the Gas in grams Mol d for Gas Density in gL.

A transmission diffraction grating with 420 lines/mm is used to study the light intensity of di event orders (n). A screen is lo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diffraction grating is used to form interference pattern of dark and bright band.

Distance between adjacent slits (a ) = 1 / 420 mm

= 2.38 x 10⁻³ mm

2.38 x 10⁻⁶ m

wave length of red light

= 680 x 10⁻⁹ m

For bright red band

position x on the screen

= n λD / a ,         n = 0,1,2,3 etc

D = distance of screen

putting n = 1 , 2 and 3 , we can get three locations of bright red band.

x₁ = λD / a

=  680 x 10⁻⁹ x 2.8 / 2.38 x 10⁻⁶

= .8 m

= 80 cm

Position of second bright band

= 2 λD / a

= 2 x 80

= 160 cm

Position of third bright band

= 3 λD / a

= 3 x 80

= 240 cm
