Suppose an isolated box of volume 2V is divided into two equal compartments. An ideal gas occupies half of the container and the

other half is empty. When the partition separating the two halves of the box is removed and the system reaches equilibrium again, how does the new internal energy of the gas compare to the internal energy of original system? a. The internal energy stays the same b. There is not enough information to determine the answer c. The internal energy decreases d. The internal energy increases

Answer:

A. the internal energy stays the same

Explanation:

From the first law of thermodynamics, "energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Based on this first law of thermodynamic, the new internal energy of the gas is the same as the internal energy of the original system.

Therefore, when the partition separating the two halves of the box is removed and the system reaches equilibrium again, the internal energy stays the same.

A 5.00-kg ball is hanging from a long but very light flexible wire when it is struck by a 1.50-kg stone traveling horizontally t
devlian [24]

consider the right direction as positive and left direction as negative.

M = mass of the ball = 5 kg

m = mass of stone = 1.50 kg

V_{bi} = initial velocity of the ball before collision = 0 m/s

V_{si} = initial velocity of the stone before collision = 12 m/s

V_{bf} = final velocity of the ball after collision = ?

V_{sf} = final velocity of the stone after collision = - 8.50 m/s

using conservation of momentum

MV_{bi} + mV_{si} = MV_{bf} + mV_{sf}

(5) (0) + (1.5) (12) = 5 V_{bf} + (1.50) (- 8.50)

V_{bf} = 6.15 m/s

h = height gained by the ball

using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by ball at Top = kinetic energy at the bottom

Mgh = (0.5) MV_{bf}^{2}

(9.8) h = (0.5) (6.15)²

h = 1.93 m

5. Measure: With the lights on, click Pause. Turn on Show rulers. A. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is equal to the dista
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels

An electric heater draws a steady current = 20.0 A on a 120-V line. (a) Calculate how much power does it require.
babymother [125]

Answer:

The heater power required is 2400 W. The power in the heater can be calculated as the product of the voltage line and the steady current:

P=V.I

P=120 V * 20 A = 2400 VA = 2400 W

A gas is compressed from 600 cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 400 kpa. at the same time, 100 j of heat energy is transfer
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The initial volume of the gas is
V_i = 600 cm^3
while its final volume is
V_f = 200 cm^3
so its variation of volume is
\Delta V = V_f - V-i = 200 cm^3 - 600 cm^3 = -400 cm^3 = -400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3

The pressure is constant, and it is
p=400 kPa = 400 \cdot 10^3 Pa

Therefore the work done by the gas is
W=p\Delta V = (400 \cdot 10^3 Pa)(-400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3)=-160 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

The heat energy given to the gas is
Q=+100 J

And the change in internal energy of the gas can be found by using the first law of thermodynamics:
\Delta U = Q-W = 100 J - (-160 J)=+260 J
where the positive sign means the internal energy of the gas has increased.

If i remeber correctly when dealing with real world cordinate systems as you rotate around clockwise you move in a positive direction. but all the examples i have done said north was 0 degrees, so i may be wrong
