A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3 , undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ

Explanation:

For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

$W=p(V_f -V_i)$

where in this case we have:

$p = 2 bar = 2\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the pressure

$V_i = 0.1 m^3$ is the initial volume

$V_f = 0.12 m^3$ is the final volume

Substituting,

$W=(2\cdot 10^5)(0.12-0.10)=4000 J = 4.0 kJ$

The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed by the gas

Here we know that

$\Delta U = +0.25 kJ$

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:

$Q=\Delta U + W = 0.25 kJ + 4.0 kJ = 4.25 kJ$

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$y = 17.04 ft$

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

$y = 180 ft$

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

$x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft$

now from the equation of parabola we have

$y = k x^2$

$180 = k(650^2)$

$k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}$

now we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2$

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

$y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)$

$y = 17.04 ft$

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi

oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775°

The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25

F net = 49N

Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20

Work = 980 J
