Heat supplied to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work applied to the gas = W = -743 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

Additional explanation

The Ideal Gas Law that should be remembered is:

$\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }$

P = Pressure (Pa)

V = Volume (m³)

n = number of moles (moles)

R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)

T = Absolute Temperature (K)

Now, let’s proceed with the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

Given:

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

Unknown:

Work done on the gas = W =?

Heat supplied to the gas = Q =?

Solution:

Step A:

An ideal gas expands isothermally:

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

$5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2$

$V_2 = 10 \div 3$

$V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next, we will determine the work performed on the gas:

$W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)$

$W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)$

$W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Step B:

By utilizing the methodology mentioned earlier:

$P_2V_2 = P_3V_3$

$3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3$

$V_3 = 10 \div 2$

$V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next, we will ascertain the work completed on the gas:

$W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)$

$W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})$

$W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}$

$\texttt{ }$

Ultimately, we can calculate the total work done and heat supplied as follows:

$W = W_A + W_B$

$W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}$

$W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}$

$\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}$

$\texttt{ }$

$\Delta U = Q + W$

$0 = Q + (-743)$

$\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}$

If the position of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the velocity of that object?

ValentinkaMS [2425]

If the position of an object is zero at a particular moment, this does not provide any indication about its velocity. It might simply be moving through that point, and you observed it exactly when it was at zero.

During a snowball fight two balls with masses of 0.4 and 0.6 kg, respectively, are thrown in such a manner that they meet head-o

Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer:

The snowball's speed after the impact is 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

mass of each ball

m₁ = 0.4 Kg

m₂ = 0.6 Kg

initial speed of both balls = v₁ = 15 m/s

Speed of 1 Kg mass post-collision =?

Applying conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ - m₂ v₁ = (m₁+m₂) V

A negative velocity indicates that the second ball moves in the opposite direction.

0.4 x 15 - 0.6 x 15 = (1) V

Therefore,

V = - 3 m/s

Consequently,

The snowball's speed following the collision is 3 m/s

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by

serg [2593]

a) Average velocity: 2.8 m/s

b) Average velocity: 5.2 m/s

c) Average velocity: 7.6 m/s

Explanation:

The car's position over time t can be described by

$x(t)=\alpha t^2 - \beta t^3$

where

$\alpha = 1.50 m/s^2$

$\beta = 0.05 m/s^3$

To find the average velocity, we divide the displacement by the elapsed time:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

At time t = 0, the position is:

$x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0$

At time t = 2.00 s, the position is:

$x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m$

This leads us to the displacement of

$\Delta x = x(2)-x(0)=5.6-0=5.6 m$

The duration for this interval is

$\Delta t = 2.0 s - 0 s = 2.0 s$

Therefore, the average velocity during this period is

$v=\frac{5.6 m}{2.0 s}=2.8 m/s$

At time t = 0, the position is:

$x(0)=\alpha \cdot 0^2 - \beta \cdot 0^3 = 0$

At time t = 4.00 s, the position is:

$x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m$

Thus, the displacement is

$\Delta x = x(4)-x(0)=20.8-0=20.8 m$

The time interval is

$\Delta t = 4.0 - 0 = 4.0 s$

This yields an average velocity of

$v=\frac{20.8}{4.0}=5.2 m/s$

The position at t = 2 s is:

$x(2)=\alpha \cdot 2^2 - \beta \cdot 2^3=5.6 m$

And at t = 4 s it is:

$x(4)=\alpha \cdot 4^2 - \beta \cdot 4^3=20.8 m$

This gives us a displacement of

$\Delta x = 20.8 - 5.6 = 15.2 m$

While the time interval is

$\Delta t = 4.0 - 2.0 = 2.0 s$

So the resulting average velocity is

$v=\frac{15.2}{2.0}=7.6 m/s$

ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

The performance of the heat pump can be calculated using the formula

β = TH / (TH - TC)

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 253.15 K)

β = 8.23 K

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 278.15 K)

β = 28.815 K
