Answer:

8 minutes and 20 seconds

Explanation:

Average Distance between Earth and Sun: 150 million km   = 1.5 * 10^{8} km

Velocity of light: 3 * 10^{8} \ m/s   =   3 * 10^{5} \ km/s

Time = Distance/Speed

or Time = 1.5 * 10^{8} \ km / 3 * 10^{5} \ km/s

= 5 * 100

= 500 seconds

⇒ Time = 8 minutes and 20 seconds

How much work (in J) is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 L to 2.7 L against an external pressure of 1.0 atm?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

-2.79 x 10²J

Explanation:

using the pressure volume work formula which states that

work = -PΔV

           = -(1.0 atm) (2.7-0.0)L = -2.7L . atm

Convert litre.atmosphere to Joules.

1 L . atm = 101.325 joules

-2.75 L .atm = -2.75 x 101.325 = -278.64375 =

Work = -2.79 x 10²J
