A cylinder containing an ideal gas has a volume of 2.6 m3 and a pressure of 1.5 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 300 K. The cylinder

<h2>Answer:13.5\times 10^{8} joules</h2>

Explanation:

From the first law of thermodynamics,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Where Q is the heat given to the gas,

U is the internal energy of the gas,

W is the workdone by the gas.

When pressure is constant,

\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

V_{2}=\frac{2.6\times 900}{300}=7.8m^{3}

When pressure is constant,W=PΔV

Where P is pressure and V is the volume of the gas.

Given P=1.5\times 10^{5}Pa

ΔV=7.8-2.6=5.2m^{3}

So,W=1.5\times 10^{5}\times 5.2=7.8\times 10^{5}J

Given that ΔU=6\times 10^{5}

So,ΔQ=6\times 10^{5}+7.8\times 10^{5}=13.8\times 10^{5}J

How much work is done when a 4.0-newton box is carried horizontally a distance of 2.0 meters at a constant velocity?
monitta

Answer: Work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

Explanation:

Work done by a substance is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement of a substance.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Where,

W = work done = ? J

F = Force applied = 4 N

s = displacement = 2 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=4N\times 2m=8Nm=8J

Hence, work done by the box will be 8 Joules.

How can we use earths resources sustainability
erik [133]
.Water 
Adequate water supplies of high quality are necessary both for community use and local ecosystems. Communities and jurisdictions must work together to assure an adequate water supply to meet future needs. This section presents resources to aid in that effort.Energy 
Communities require energy. Nonrenewable sources for power generation, home and workplace, and transportation cause pollution and its harmful impacts. Energy conservation and the use of renewable fuels provide cost-effective and more sustainable alternatives. This section contains resources available to make energy use more efficient.Air and Climate 
Both the natural ecosystem and human health can be adversely impacted by declining air quality and climatic change. Communities can preserve air quality by limiting or eliminating the discharge of harmful chemicals into the air and by minimizing the sources of air pollution. This section contains resources and approaches that address air quality and climate change.Biodiversity 
Biodiversity is particularly important for creating sustainability because of the specialized roles each species plays in maintaining ecological balance. Communities can promote healthy wildlife by supporting integrative approaches for managing, protecting, and enhancing wildlife populations and habitats appropriate to their area. Some examples are given here.Land, Forests, and Ecosystems 
While providing a protective covering for soil, water, and the atmosphere, forests are also renewable sources of an endless variety of products. In a healthy ecosystem, policies and programs must balance economic and conservation needs. This section highlights cases where communities have developed land use practices and businesses that both conserve ecosystems and enhance local economies.

Why does it take longer to boil a kettle of water than to warm the same kettle of water to a lower temperature?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The reason that it takes longer to get the water to boiling temperature than it is to cool it down again is because heating in the most simple sense is inefficient and will cause a lot if energy lost while cooling is to be turn's into quite a efficient process.
