Response:

980 J

Clarification:

The energy change of the box is equivalent to its change in gravitational potential energy:

$\Delta U = m g \Delta h$

where

m = 50 kg signifies the mass of the box

g = 9.8 m/s^2 represents the acceleration caused by gravity

$\Delta h= 2m$ indicates the height change of the box

By substituting the values, we discover

$\Delta U = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)=980 J$

Answer:

the temperature on the left side is 1.48 times greater than that on the right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

$\gamma = 5/3$

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

It is known that

$P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}$

$P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}$

n and v are constant on both sides. Therefore we have

$\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}$

$P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2$ ..............1

let the final pressure be P and the temperature $T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}$

$P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}$

$P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3}$ ..................2

similarly

$P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3}$ .............3

divide equation (2) by equation (3)

$\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}$

$T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}$

thus, the left side temperature equals 1.48 times the right side temperature
